So Get Ready!!

The group set off from Dean Close at 7.30am for a 12.30pm flight, from Heathrow, to Rome. After a short stop in Rome we boarded an internal flight to Palermo in northern Sicily.

We met Paulo Gallo, our guide for the week. It was then a 45min heart-stopping ride through the city centre to our hotel. After 12 hours travelling everyone was hungry and tired. The hotel provided a hearty Italian meal and then it was off to bed to get ready for an early start for a full day’s site seeing.start for a full day’s site seeing.
