508/1356 – Messina – Autogrill
At reveille we realize that the friends met last night have already left, we are the lazy ones, you start and later we enter the SA-RC has long been that this road and it was hoped had ended, unfortunately there are still many ongoing tasks , much better than last time, but are still so many traits from Permin, the weather is terrible, raining heavily and the height of Lagonegro snowing.
Arriving at Villa St. John begins to queue for boarding the highway, after more than half an hour we arrive at the ticket Tina, my wife is among the first to make the ticket cost € 30.20 and it did return you save € 10.00, but not yet decided how to return and when you decide on one way.
Meanwhile we reached the RV of GE, having to queue to buy tickets waive, take the ferry after the vessel is fast and after half an hour reach Sicily.
The new highway from the port and starts right after the toll payment at the first convenience store we stop (service station Agip), a nice new parking lay-by and equipped with loading / unloading (for free).
After dinner, we reach the pair of Ge, have had a bad adventure: the bow door of the ferry did not open due to a failure, so the ferry had to back off its moorings and mooring stern and thus to release the vehicles in reverse, for cars and camper no problem, but for trucks has been a problem, therefore it took more than an hour to get off the ship.

My nephew, alerted by phone, we waited at the entrance of the village and took us to his house, cross Montemaggiore B. doing a great climb, another meter and the campers would not have passed had reached the limit of his power, I think I did my best with the ascent of Trol in Norway, but I was wrong, this is even more .
Kisses and hugs in the sister.
Parking in front of the house to compensate for the slope using all thicknesses available to me, do not reach the level but is in an acceptable position.

After lunch you want to visit the basilica, unfortunately opens at 15.30, we turn to the village and invariably ends up in an ice cream shop, the usual cup of delicious ice cream and then a walk to digest.
After the visit, returning to Palermo city, leaving the car park, I realize that to get there, but did not have to go through the village: the ascent from the hospital, I had to turn left towards Trapani and shortly after, there is a sign that indicates there is the parking.
I parked in the city before the Porta Nuova, from here you can visit the palace of the Normans, the Cathedral and the Quattro Canti and the fountain in Piazza Pretoria.

On the highway we arrived at Messina, the first toll gate was designated "boarding commercial vehicles" and then I went even though it was the box from which I had left on arrival in Sicily and I was wrong because: The other exit for embarking on two boxes below and then you drive through the city, not expedient, it was better to leave the port again.
Boarding the old port with the same company the first leg: "BLUV" same cost: € 30.20, little waiting, half-empty ferry, half an hour to cross.
Resumption highway RC / SA one of the first galleries forced stop, a car was burning in the tunnel following: difficulty in passing, between the media firm, the fire service, the tow truck and the highway patrol. Everything has been resolved in an hour.

Left the A1 at Orte I took the E47, a lot of traffic and bumpy road, the scenery is very beautiful but the guide engages me much.
I found an aerial staging PG exit behind the parking lot of a supermarket, consider staying for the night, but, on the edge of the parking of trains passing at night, there it stood very silent, you decide to stop at the next Autogrill.
