Hi Folks! So here we go with the last blog entry of South America! We can't believe its came round so quick. BA always marked the turning point of the adventure where everything leading up to it was travelling away from home, and everything after was on the road home. In order to mark the occasion I am changing writing style to give you a whistle-stop tour of what has to be one of the greatest cities on Earth. Palermo - lots of shopping and bars.
