| The cobbled streets are beautiful. Kate you would love creative photos you can take. |

 |
| Kids found a cat with blue eyes in a flower pot. Been so hot you have to take cover where you can. |

| Our French car in Italy which only speaks Spanish. We can understand enough Spanish to get us around Sicily but not enough to change to English. The view in the background is our villa. |
 |
| One thing you not short of is men in speedos. The kids keep saying why do the men wear those awful costumes. Also surprising is the amount of tattoos all the people have. We had to pay to swim in this part of the sea. They filmed Ocean Twelve here. |

| Monreale. The kids wanting to buy all the trinkets. The very very narrow streets. Scooters popping out in all directions. No one follows the road rules. |
 |
| The fantastic church in Monreale. |
 |
| The church square. The mosaics where beautiful |
 |
| Inside the church. It was wonderful. I so wished my gran was with me because she would have loved the church. We did light a candle for my gran, poppa and Betty. Kara said look how strong the candle was burning, so hopefully they were with us in spirit. |
