7:30 pm, Central Station: the final participant recovered and placed in the machine stuff and people in tetris style, it's off to the Purgatory Chasm. Obviously could not miss the stop at the source and its breakfast of cassatelle!
parked our car, we dress and we walk towards the entrance.
Gregory began to arm the first well while Louise and I, enslaved by Simon, we learn to spin ropes. Begins its descent, before Gregory followed by Luisa Simone and me, and then continue to the first shaft 60, wisely split about half-way, where among other things was cheerfully pausing a dead mouse. We arrive at the base where we can admire for a few minutes Vespino, munching nuts and developing theories about how it can be done there. We face the ultimate shaft 60 and arrived at the bottom and take a short lunch of sandwiches lovingly prepared by me. After a short walk through beautiful medusoni and begins the ascent of calcite concretions: Luisa in "pole position", expresses some doubt that the semi-static rope was too "dynamic", which even then I found a few minutes later I when I found myself going up and down like a yo-yo. Exhausted by fatigue, but happy (especially me and Louise we both started for the first time wells of 60), we leave the cave, even though the heat suggests that we should stay, and collected all the pieces back to the car.
With "The Barber of Seville" as background music take off suits, harnesses and, having exchanged a few words with a native, we head to Macari, where we find a beautiful promenade virtually deserted and we take advantage to give us a bath and rest a while 'before you pitch your tent.
The evening ends of the thousand theories Luisa and a nice roasted chicken and caddozzi of sasizza.
The next morning at 5.30 we are already on their feet, more or less awake. Time to dismantle the camp we had azzizzato efficient and we move to the Zubbia San Vito. With botanical goodies Simone almost immediately identify the entrance and armed us caliamo input shaft inside the cave. We enter a little 'to the case in the many corridors and stumble upon a thread of Ariadne begin to follow him. Meanwhile Louise shows off her new step in the sole between the beach and a "no pitch" and the other, and a thousand ringleaders and back to the stalactites abandon Ariadne's thread to continue a little longer '.
Dopo circa un'ora e mezza che ci aggiriamo tra corridoi vari decidiamo di tornare indietro...piccolo problema: da dove???? i fili di Arianna cominciano a moltiplicarsi, le sale sembrano sempre più simili tra loro. A turno andiamo in esplorazione nelle varie direzioni, andiamo avanti poi torniamo indietro mille volte.
Dopo mooolto tempo ecco l'illuminazione: finalmente arriviamo in una sala familiare e da li a poco ritroviamo quello che ci sembra il percorso dell'andata, anche se ormai le perplessità sono d'obbligo. E superato un liscione la vediamo: LA LUCE!!!!! Ancora una volta soddisfatti e anche un po' divertiti dalla piccola adventure we leave the cave and go back to the car.
Before returning to Palermo, but we make a stop in San Vito where to take the opportunity to take a refreshing swim and eat pizza with a very useful tool known as "prendipizza.
