Sicily small tour

or
A vacation without my family

It was supposed to be a nice easy trip a friend of mine and three kids. As the plans are always a subject for changes, my kid had to stay home with the dad. So I've got a week of vacation for myself. Being a mom and going away from your kid for the first time isn't easy, but as the kilometers grow you understand that there is nothing else to do and you start enjoying your trip.

So, we've spent a week in Sicily making a small circle from Trapani, via Castellammare del Golfo, Terrasini, stopping for a coffee in Corleone (no mafia around), Sciacca, Marsala and coming back to Trapani again.

Some good points to see:
- Zingaro reserve - best place for swimming probably in all Sicily, as the beaches are accessible by foot only and therefore stay clean, cosy, and natural. The park itself is a popular place for hiking
- Erice - an impressive hill-city-castle in one. A nice, but too much touristic place to see.
- Greek archaeological site Selinunte - museum of ruins under the open sky. Take a hat or a scarf and plenty of water on a sunny day.
- and the paradise of kiters close Lo Stagnone lagoon. It has a goog restaurant. Also, nice view guaranteed.
