We had a totally unremarkable trip down to Sicily today, the Metro and busses were right on time, so we had time to kill in the airport. The flight left right on time and we arrived a little early in Palermo. We got our car and and headed out to Sciacca in the bright sunshine, perfect.
And then we got to the outskirts of Sciacca and the car decided that enough was enough. So at the moment we're stranded in Sciacca, the clutch seems to be burned completely out. I called roadside assistance thanks to an incredibly nice man that I accosted going into his apartment while I was trying to follow impossible instructions from a tomtom driving map, on foot.
Then he called our B&B who was so kind as to send a car over for us, and they even waited until the wrecker arrived. Tomorrow I'll have to try to sort it out with the car rental company, otherwise we may be spending a few more days in Sciacca. But not all is lost because it's a lovely town. We walked around town after getting situated in our B&B and had a lovely dinner in a small osteria just next to the B&B

Oh no! Apparently automobiles are beginning to reject you since you've been on foot for so long.
ReplyDeleteI think the clutch was already weak as it started acting up while we were on the highway.
