This place is too large to get just a quick review so here are some more pictures to celebrate its greatness.

Close up of the 4 wheel drive bus.  Just what every family and friends need.  I think it must have come from the Paris – Dakar Rally but there are at least 10 of them up here.

Celebrity tour guides?  Go figure it out and if you can’t then you are not Irish.

These are the roads in the Mt Etna national park if you let the Garmin have its way.  Actually these roads are small but the vineyards along the way are fantastic and rival Napa Valley.

No we are not in England, we just park that way.

One last view of the marina.  Blocked by the 37th largest motor yacht and its helicopter.  Yes Middle East Oil Prince.  27 crew members who are hardy drinkers till 3:00am before the boss comes back.  No I did not stay up with them but I have my sources.  I watched three of them scrub the gangway with toothbrushes the next day.  Not sure if that was normal!
