Sunday at the Erice workshop is another packed schedule: 9am until 7:10pm (with again the 9pm-11pm poster session). Despite the long days, we do get scheduled a 2 hour lunch break. Lunch is available at a selection of the many restaurants, and there is a workshop set lunch: a plate of pasta and sauce, followed by a plate of meat and green salad. After ordering, it takes a while to arrive, because it is gloriously, freshly cooked. (Hence the need for 2 hours.) However, today I wanted a look around the town, so skipped the restaurant option, and just had a cheese and salami roll from the local catering, before setting off with a colleague to explore.
Narrow streets led down past a bell tower to a walk around the perimeter, with views of castles and the rest of the town just seemingly growing directly out of the rock.

On our way back up to the venue for the afternoon session, we passed a gelato shop, realised what we had seen, retraced our steps, and went in. I had the most amazing and darkest chocolate ice cream I’ve ever seen. I think we’ll be visiting there again.
