Now we have arrived at Marina di Ragusa, which is on the coast not far from Ragusa. We rolled into the car park here late last night. This is a fairly ordinary site on an asphalt car park, but there are services (even showers!) and we got a fantastic welcome from Tony, who immediately wanted to tell us all about where we had come, about the beer festival going on and how to find our way around the town.

Agrigento on the southern coast of Sicily is famous for its ancient temples, dating back to the 4th century BC, in the Valle dei Templi. The Temple of Concordia is the best preserved Doric sanctuary in Sicily, and perhaps in the world. The oldest is the Temple of Hercules, with its tall columns.

Today we have continued to drive around Sicily, from Marsala on the west coast of Sicily and south along the coast. Along the way to Mazara del Vallo we found many beautiful little beaches, and we would have loved to have camped there - if only we could have got the campervan down! The roads down to the beaches are narrow, full of large potholes and incredibly steep.

Today we went to Trapani on the west coast of Sicily, and our main goal was to buy an internet sim card, but we also got to see an incredibly beautiful city! We managed to of course arrive in the afternoon when everything was closed (siesta), and that way we had time to walk around the Old Town instead.

San Vito Lo Capo is located on a prominent promontory in western Sicily, just north of Trapani. It offers beautiful scenery in the form of dramatic mountains and fine beaches. The village is small but charming and the 'main' street is full of restaurants, bars, shops and strolling tourists.

Coming from Sardinia to Sicily was a bit of a shock. Palermo was quiet in the early Sunday morning, but by the time we stopped to shop for food in a suburb, people had come alive. Cars honked, vendors shouted, dogs barked (or were run over) and African men insisted on packing our bags or pushing away our shopping cart to get 50 cents.

Last Saturday evening we took the ferry Sardinia - Sicily, from Cagliari in Sardinia to Palermo in Sicily. The ferry takes 12 hours and runs 1-2 times/week, depending on the season. We paid about 2500 SEK for two adults and a motorhome, without a cabin.

We have now reached the Costa del Rei on the south-east coast of Sardinia. We had to "escape" from the hot Cagliari, where we were parked in the middle of the sun without the possibility of shade or swimming. We have taken in the camping Le Dune, where we got a relatively shady place.

Today we looked around Cagliari, the capital of Sardinia with about 150,000 inhabitants (over 400,000 if you count the entire metropolitan area). This is a charming city with an old city centre where you can feel the wings of history. Right now it is incredibly hot and we have been shopping in shops with AC, having a pasta lunch in the shade and enjoying an ice cream indoors at an ice cream parlour with AC ...

On every beach here in Sardinia (and in many other places, of course) you will find them: the vendors. They sell just about anything you can imagine selling: hats, sunglasses, sarongs, summer dresses, beach towels, beach toys, jewellery, speakers, iPhone cases...
