Valley of the Dolls
... seawater you have ever seen. John wasn’t hungry so he decided to head off alone to the hotel whilst the rest of us enjoyed a gelato break. We relaxed on the terrace of the café overlooking the Mediterranean, eating gelato and enjoying the cool sea breeze. A nice way to breakup a day of riding. We are staying in the Valley of the Temples tonight. Greek ruins litter the countryside so I’m guessing there is going to be some great exploring ...

Agrigento
... festival celebrations many times. People carried the Saint down the streets of Agrigento, but they didn't get far before people jumped up and kissed the Saint. They even made their babies kiss it!
The main reason for visiting Agrigento was the Valley of Temples. So the second day we got up and made our way there, first we had a friggen awesome breakfast that the hosts, Aldo and Antonella prepared for us. It consisted crissonts, some other pastry filled with custard, 4 ...
