The Travels of Frank Simmery……..

Our illustrious member Frank Simmery has been off on his travels again, this time to Sicily.
He very kindly sent some pictures and a short explanation of the trip

Hello Winkle Snr,
As requested here is a collection of
photos from which you can choose.

This trip was wonderful and one of the
best I ever had; fantastic landscape,
friendly people, and surprisingly high
standard of B&Bs and hotels. There
were an enormous number of thrilling
sightseeing opportunities from past
periods such as Greek, Roman, and
Norman. There used to be a Mafia
problem and there’s still a very high
rate of unemployment but I didn't
notice anything negative at all.
