Hi All,

Well I returned from sunny Sicily yesterday.. I had 3 full days there which really is not enough to see everything, and especially as its snowing and really cold here :hurts: *wishes she was in Sicily still*

I loved Sicily very much - its a beautiful country full of many contrasts. The people are warm and friendly and very italian which is fab... I have a new friend there, so I may be going back next year to see him, I don't know yet :bigsmile: (Not all Sicillians are short, and some of them have blue eyes)

Anyway here are the photos...

1) View from the Hotel

I am lucky that I get to go away alot - I do tend to save money because I always book directly with local hotels and airlines - II speak French and enough Italian to get by in most places and this helps too... I also tend to get the 'Rough Guide' to where I am going - they give you tips on where to eat cheaply etc..

I also try to make friends when I'm away.. that way they come stay with you and then you get a place to stay with them - if you know what I mean - Like an exchange :bigsmile:

I wish I had more time too though, with work, and college I only get the odd long weekend, but its worth it to just do short weekend breaks as you can see more.. :bigsmile:
