Unfortunately my sister was poorly missed seeing Palermo. However I did venture ashore and ended up in a new patisserie along the first block of sho p s you come to on exiting the port gates (go right) they had been open a week and were charming!

Our English language cruise line excusrsion was cancelled; not enough sign-ups for English. So we listened to people selling tours on the pier, liked the price and convenience of this bus tour.
