We had intended leaving Cefalu today after a daytime wander in the town. However, after a walk to the harbour on the other side of Cefalu, we found the most wonderful bar for lunch! It was a wine bar, come deli, come cafe; full of the most delicious looking goodies and a massive wine stock. For locals this could be the one and only shop they need to visit for their Christmas shopping!
The lunch was scrummy, washed down with an Etna wine. Richard preferred to try a beer, not a pint of draught in a mug, as at home; this beer was given more reverence than my wine. His beer came in an ice bucket, was served in a wine glass and was to be savoured. Needless to say, the alcohol content was such that a second night in the car park was required!
On our way back, we stopped to admire a most unusual tree. It had a thick, prickly trunk, beautiful bi coloured flowers and green fruit. A lady saw us looking at it and explained that it was a Cotton Tree. The trunk is apparently full of water and when the fruit ripen, they are full of cotton wool.
