Palermo...

I feel like i need a shower just explaining this trash heap of a city.
1. Dirty as hell
2. If you have a death wish get in a car
3. Not all that much to see
a. If you did find something of interest and managed to dig it out of the trash piles around it, someone would honk at you to move on.

My Dad always said "The deffinition of a split second is the time between a traffic light turning green and a Saudi hitting his horn"

There is something faster than a split second in Sicily. They don't even wait for the light to turn green. You cannot go more than 30 seconds at any time on the road without hearing a horn, NO exaggeration.
Driving in Paris is a breeze compared to this.

On the bright side our Hostel doubles as a Prison in the non-tourist season. Holes in the walls, no AC, no lift (we are on 5th floor) Non locking community showers. All the elements you look for in a prison.. er Hostel.

It sounds as if they make the Jersey drivers seem like old ladies on Sunday. I've referenced your dad's definition of a split-second many times. If you brought your own, since the hotel sure as hell wouldn't provide you with any, don't drop the soap:)
