This last summer I travelLed with my boyfriend and two close friends to Italy. We are WERE in Palermo and we needED to take a boat to Filicudi, an island near Sicily. Once we are WERE at the port, the company said to us that all boats are WERE cancelled until next day, because of bad weather conditions.

After all, we are WERE In Palermo, with our luggage and no hotel room reservation to stay and TO SPEND an extra night IN on the city. But we had a producer on the team and she found a room in a hotel near the port.

With the extra time we decided to visit some monuments and museums that we hadn't HAD time to visit the day before.

Next day WHEN we woke up THE WEATHER WAS calm and sunny and we can COULD finally take the boat.
