Agrigente

In English :  After a last morning walk in Trapani, this time we went to visit the city of Agrigento, and its site of remains of Greco-Roman temples! Unfortunately the scavengers were on strike, so the city was not very "glamorous" (ooooh, some burning trashes near our car... yeepee!).
In the meantime we had lot of fun in the Valley of the Temples, by taking stupid poses like the "Knight of the Zodiac"... XD

We ended up taking a downpour on our heads on the way back, in Sicily when it rains it's not only 3 drops! O_o


En français : Après une dernière ballade le matin à Trapani, cette fois-ci nous sommes parties visiter la ville d'Agrigente, et son site de vestiges de temples gréco-romains!! Malheureusement les éboueurs étaient en grève, du coup la ville n'était pas très glamour (ambiance "poubelles qui crament" près de ta voiture... youhou!). 
En attendant on a bien déliré dans la vallée des temples, à faire des poses de "Chevalier du Zodiaque"... XD
On a fini par se prendre une vieille averse en rentrant, quand ça tombe ça fait pas semblant!!! O_o



Trapani on the morning...



Arriving to Agrigento!

Glamorous garbages *O*



What a contrast... ^__^


In the valley of the Temples (Agrigento is behind, far away! ^^)

Favignana, Trapani

In English : Some photos taken on the island of Favignana (the main island of the archipelago of the Egadi Islands) where we spent a lovely day... Then, other images of the city of Trapani where we stayed, by coming back on the evening!

En français : Quelques photos prises sur l'île de Favignana (île principale de l'archipel des îles Egades), où nous avons passé une jolie journée... Puis, d'autres images de la ville de Trapani où nous logions, le soir en rentrant!



What a nice advertising... XD

Lynn offered me this duck, and we named him "Saro" because as we learned, it's a typical Sicilian name... Haha ;)

Many careers in Favignana!

We were renting some bikes to go around ^^



Quack quack!!!  XD

"Saro the duck"... haha ^^



Granite is life!



Evening in Trapani...

Riserva dello Zingaro, Erice

In English : On the way to Trapani, we made a stop at the Zingaro Natural Reserve... Unfortunately, a large part of the park was closed. 
In the late afternoon, after dropping off our luggage... We've gone to Erice, a small medieval town lost in the fog above Trapani... A magical place! We passed through the clouds, it was incredible...

En français : En chemin vers Trapani, nous avons fait un stop à la réserve naturelle de Zingaro... Malheureusement, une grande partie du parc était fermé. 
En fin d'après-midi, après avoir déposé nos bagages... Direction Erice, une petite ville médiévale perdue dans le brouillard au dessus de Trapani... Un endroit magique!! Les nuages nous traversaient, c'était incroyable...

At Trapani... :)

Arriving in the clouds, at Erice...








Far away, at the bottom, you can see Trapani behind the clouds ...
