Last And wet day in Palermo

This morning after breakfast we sat out and easily walked to the archaeological museum here in Palermo. Although not huge and it was excellent so that we could see various metopes and statues and other ruins taken mainly from the Selinunte site But also other areas we have seen. It has rained all day and somewhat spoilt what we wanted to do. We waited for the free tourist shuttle for half an hour and it didn’t come and then got lost trying to find the Palazzo Chiaramonte. Very late we arrived for the guided tour very wet. However they did let us join it and it was interesting to see the graffiti art which was very historical from prisoners of the inquisition. We finally got to see the painting I was very keen to see called La Vuccuria. Gifted to the town of Palermo by its painter it is a very bright busy and interesting painting of the market of the same name. We managed to find the market afterwards and sitting down and having an antipasto lunch was very enjoyable.Read more
