A couple of weeks in Sicily. We have not been before and know almost nothing about it which of course is a good starting point.

A Good Start to the Holiday

A nice hotel in a great town

An Oblique Day

A visit to Palermo

A Day with the Flora and Fauna

Culture & Rain

A bit of culture and a lot of rain

More Ruins and no Rain

The Valley of the Temples

Normans and Romans

Some wonderful mosaics

Paying the Toll

Confusing signs to and from Taormina

Food

Eating is an important part of our holidays

A well known Sicilian

Old Buildings, a Nature Reserve & Whickers World

If I were an Italian I would be embarrassed

Not much but a Full Monty
