1% invade Ortigia

We noticed a few yachts moored here in the Porto Grande at the end of 2011 when we arrived for the winter, but they were the kind with masts and sails, rather than helicopters. The folks who parked these here for all of us to admire are probably the .1%, but in any case it's a good signal for us to pack up and head north as our bike tour season starts soon. We'll see the final week of what is shaping up to be an action packed Giro d'Italia (with Italian Vincenzo Nibali taking the Maglia Rosa today) and have a couple of places left on the tour so act fast or miss out! 

Next post will be from Northern Italy as we prepare for the upcoming season.

Arrivederci Sicilia!
