On to Trapani

From Messina we steamed West across the top of Sicily to Trapani, the NorthWest corner, the only city where we were to stay for two days. It’s a cute port, a bit of fallen glory I would say, as the importance of its Tuna fisheries have diminished.

Quay at Trapani

The waterfront features some classic architecture; almost Italian, but most definitely Sicilian.

The old buildings downtown have been well maintained.

The scene of the old fish market, now a touristy bazaar.

The fishing harbor…

At one time filled with boats, now, quiet…

But there are still plenty of workboats about.

Triton stands guard.

Dinner! – at Torre Vecchio – not quite the tower in Venice, but still most cool.

Looks promising…

OMG

Incredible!

And the wine was perfect

The city comes alive at night

Home sweet home!
