Ciao a tutti,
as you probably know, this wasn´t my first time in Sicily. I visited this beautiful island 2 years ago. I had my guidebook with me which says that I should definitely visit Cefalu. After Taormina (I´ve been there too) it´s the second most visited place in Sicily. Due to my Erasmus project, the fate has brought me back to Cefalu. If you told me 2 years ago that I will come to this place again, I would never believe that. I mean, it´s very nice place and attractive for tourists but I prefere the East Coast of Sicily and places like Catania, Taormina etc.
To get to the point. The part of our Erasmus project was a trip to Cefalu. Now, let me show you some photos and maybe convince you to visit this wonderful city (if you ever plan to visit Sicily).
What you can do in Cefalu:
- go for a walk in the historic city center
- shopping in small boutiques
- go to the beach
- walking tour- top of the rock
Duomo is the most important Norman church in Sicily.

The square in front of "Duomo".
As you might know I love streets like these...

Eating my favourite Italian ice cream "gelato".
After nice walk in the city centre, let´s go to the beach.
 |
| Porta Pescara |
It was very hot. So if I wasn´t such a big coward I would swim with my friends.
As you can see I always represent my hometown Liberec :-)
I never know what to do when somebody takes photos of me, how to stand and everything. So, my friend Kamil told me to do this. I am doing my best, trust me:-)
Taking some photos with my Czech and Latvian friends (you need some memories, come on)

After beach we are going to Rocca di Cefalu. It´s a place with the best view of the city. One advice: do not take any flip flops. This is a walking tour to the top of the rock.
Castel at the top.
Breathtaking views...
When I travel, I always look for places when you can see the whole city from the top. Why? Because the view is the best and it´s totally worth it.

Another advice: Take a bottle of water with you. First time I didn´t have any (run out) and the temperature was more than 40 degree and I was really dying. This time it was "only" 20 something and it was still challenging a bit. I have learned my lesson.

| We all did it |
I did bother my friend Lenka to take a photo of me in the same place like somebody else did 2 years ago. So, you guys can see how much I have changed over 2 years. Is it better or worst? :-)

About my personality, I hope it is better. I have more experience now and feel like I know a little bit more. About looking, I´m not sure which photo I prefere. Let´s say that both are "acceptable" (my favourite word).

At the end: This was my second time in Cefalu. My friend Francisco from Spain told me that in Spain they say something like if I visited this place already twice, the fate will bring me back again. There has to be third time. Let´s see :-)
Arrivederci
