May 7th Agrigento to Falconara

Rainy and dull day today and fairly uninspiring cycling. Area obviously very fertile with lots of agricultural farming under big polytunnels, which do detract from the scenery, but obviously needs must. Stopped in licarta, which was handy as big market allowing purchase of charger and bit of a food shop. Arrived eventually at the only campsite possible. Again one that only offers half of the things advertised and a bit rundown. Luckily rain stopped and it also offered somewhere to sit in the evening.

May 8th Falconera to Punta Bracatto

Blue skies lifted spirits. 70km cycle today, so needed. Into a head wind to Gela, which once we found centre was lovely. Very grumpy service for the cheapest coffee yet and with rather a fabulous view of the Duomo. Then back on the road to Scoglitti. Nice little harbour. Only negative of this area, as much of Sicily, so much rubbish on the sides of the roads. Then final cycle to Punta, or Montalbano land!!!! Luckily first campsite we came across was deserted in reception as we then moved on to the BEST campsite EVER!!!!!! Spotless, well organised, lovely pitches and your very own lockable toilet, with the nicest beach right there. Immediately we knew more than one night here. Library, breadman, veggie man, everything one could desire. Celebrated with a couple of beers at the bar on the beach.
