THE TOUR OF SICILY

Stage Three: Palermo -
Trapani:
(112km)
We now headed inland to
test ourselves on a few more serious, longer climbs before turning
towards the west-coast town of Trapani. Again, the weather was kind to
us and the antics of the local drivers continued to occupy our
attention. As this was proving to be a generally uneventful stage,
Wayne took it upon himself to liven up proceedings with a graphic
demonstration on how to negotiate a railway crossing. Unfortunately
Wayne's demonstration was flawed, and as he dusted himself off and
checked himself and his bike for damage, we all agreed that although
very entertaining, a short explanation would have been less painful for
him. Fortunately, Wayne was able to rejoin the bunch after some minor
first aid. We then headed back towards the coast and finally reached
Trapani just in time to gain more experience in the art of staying alive
in Italian peak hour traffic as we searched out our hotel.
