Georgia Armenia and Beyond 2026

Found a nice place and it's inland in the mountains and arrived little cooler, actually  rained for the last ten minutes on the way up. The room was very comfortable with a balcony in a narrow alley. Don't  know why I picked this place but it was okay for a day.

MAZARA DEL VALLO Only 66 kms up the coast and don't  know why I came here and had to wait till 3pm to get my room. So walked around all day in the scorching heat and there were a few interesting structures.  PALERMO  1+2 JULY 2026    286 kms Palermo is a big city, rather dirty and doesn't  seem any maintenance  is done to the streets and buildings. Place comes alive at night with funky bars and many restaurants that are not there in the day. Walked around during the heat of the day with all the other tourists, this is not the time of year to visit. After this I have one more stop then heading back to Greece.     The very west of Sicily, has nice places to swim and the water is crystal  clear.   CEFALÙ -  Took train ...

Stayed two nights in Sciacca at Porta di Mare B&B (€42) where the owner fed me melon and dried tomatoes ,best I have ever tasted. Rode up to  Catabellotta, a medieval village perched on a mountain 950m above sea level which has a history that dates back 2500 years. The heat is intense and you can't  be outside for long, just to bloody hot.Luckily the A/C is working and have it cranked up in the room. Once cooled I ventured down to the harbour for a few hours, second largest port in Sicily.      SCIACCA      Sun dried tomatoes     Busiate Fresche, Gambero     1 AM fireworks to end festivities      Breakfast      Caltabellotta
