April 20, 2017. Trapani, Sicily Italy on the Gran Mediterranean Cruise

We off the ship this morning by 8:30 and walked around this little peninsula to the Old part of the town.  They were just setting up all the cafè stands and hat stands.  Hats are big here.  We are located on the west coast of Sicily and Trapani serves as a fishing hot spot, wine and Olive producer and is also a major passageway to the nearby Egadi Islands and ferries running to Tunisia, Sardinia, and Pantelleria. 
We wondered the narrow streets and walked are butts off again to the other end of town 4 miles ahead.  There was a funicular we were planning on taking up this mountain to see the views but once we got there it had been stopped with people in it for over an hour.  We decided that we can't risk a break down again and us be late or miss the ship so we just took a few pictures of it and walked back via the waterfront another 4 mikes.  My feet really hurt but Bob had no sympathy for me......he was hurting as well his back.  Oh to be getting old.  Don't like it.  Anyway we got back on the ship by 2:00 had a salad for lunch then decided to go see the movie  " Lion" based on a true story.  Such a good movie recommend that to everyone.  Just bring a lot of tissue with you.  I cried all the way thorough it.  Happy tears and some sad tears.  We are so blessed in our lives.  It ended right at 5:00 and that was when we were sailing away.  We tomorrow is Cagliari Sardinia Italy.

They were very good.  We needed a pick me up for our walk back

The Funicular stopped once again


A .50 cent cafe mocha.  Even Bob liked it.
