We were up at 7, taking in a gorgeous sunrise over Trapani. We had breakfast in our suite.
Met tour bus at 8:45 for the one hour drive to Marsala. We went to the archaeological museum and saw lots of relics from the nearby island, Marzio as well as Roman and Sicilian ship remains,
We had a very relaxing walk around the town, going in the New Gate and coming out the Garibaldi Gate. Reboarded the bus and drive to the Marsala winery. Tour of the cellars and learned about the history of the winery and about Marsala. Lovely lunch served with tastings of red and white wines, then dessert of cannoli and pastry with Marsala.

| Salt pans and windmills on the way back |
Long drive back to Trapani, stopping off at the salt pans and windmills. I bought a jar of salt.
We returned to ship just before 3 and got a couple of finger sandwiches from the Arts Cafe to keep us going until dinner. Bingo was successful - we each had a win for a total of 18 prize points. We then came third in trivia, so there was an extra 2 points.
We went to a show at the Venetian Lounge at 6:30 then met Penny and Gary and Sue and David (trivia team mates) at SALT Kitchen for dinner. Ian and I both had a small pasta entree, then he had a strange beef dish with hard boiled egg, while I had a lovely couscous and seafood dish. Ian had affogato for dessert and I had a filled donut. It was a great night with lots of lively conversation
