Sicily

Sicily is a beautiful island off the south coast of Italy (left of its toe). To be sure of good weather you need to avoid the first three or four months of the year.

The coastline you see in this picture is on the northern edge, west of Palermo. A nature reserve runs for around 7km and is beautiful. We went in March 2007 and, with the exception of 2 warm and sunny days, the weather was cold and wet.
