On our 3rd night in Trapani we headed off to hit the town – I am completely captivated. It reminds me of Rome in that there are treasures to behold at every turn but the architecture is not really ‘Roman’ it’s more Baroque in style. This update is mostly visual as I have been so taken with everything I have seen (and eaten!)

The previous afternoon on our food shopping trip we went to see the Cathedral but could not go in as a funeral was about to take place. It was a very moving sight, the hearse followed by mourners walking behind it through the opulent narrow streets.

We managed to get some pictures of it on our night out – so hard to capture such a vast building only being able to step back 10 feet!

We had a superb dinner and able to sit outside on the restaurant terrace, albeit with our jackets on! We both had the local pasta Busiata, mine with aubergine and ricotta and Jacques with mussels!

Meal was finished with possibly the biggest cannoli I have ever seen! Delicious!

Although it was early in the Season, the streets were still quite busy so the local law and order were out in strength! This seriously made us both laugh. Very funny but I suppose very practical for this terrain!

One more walk around town after dinner and we stumbled upon this treasure

That was quite enough excitement for one day especially as the following day we were hiring a car and being real tourists going to see the Temple at Segeste – stunning!

More on this next time!
