December 2007
Sicily, although Italian, is more Mediterranean than anything else.   Separated from the mainland by only a small stretch of water it is another world of mountains (including the volcano Mt Etna above), blue skies, diverse cooking (bottom), and a culture influenced by previous occupiers such as the Greeks and the Arabs.   The buses are definitely Italian though - orange local ones (left and below left) and blue long distance ones (below right).   Oh one final thing, Sicily is romantic.
