Favignana is a larger island than Levanzo, and has a sizeable town and a few metalled roads - we visited last year and hired bikes and decided to repeat the experience on Wednesday. Again, the flowers were a major feature, with huge swathes of colour on every hand. The weather is getting more settled, and despite the huge speed of our cycling, the wind was warm and pleasant.

| Almonds fattening up in the sun |
 |
| What can I say - a riot of poppies? |
 |
| A more sedate host of wild gladiolus |
 |
| Like the lizards, the gulls were tame - this one was reluctant to leave its two eggs. The gulls are like our herring gulls but with yellow feet |
 |
| Back in Trapani - the local authority have forgotten to plant up this tub, so nature has done the job for them |
 |
| Older citizens yarn and watch the sea and the strollers |
 |
| Later on, we enjoyed our aperitivo - and, no, these are not cheese footballs, but delicious hot mashed tattie balls - yum! |

| Back home through the city wall |
