Cycled to Ragusa today. Coffee stop at Santa Croce Carmina which is a lovely little town with a very busy little main square frequented by lots of more mature men sitting under the shade of the trees. We then continued to Ragusa, a steady uphill if about 25km. Ragusa appears to be split into 3 sections, a less than attractive urban sprawl, an old town on the grid system lots of Sicilian towns have and lastly the true old Ragusa. Unfortunately once we had trapsed through the first two and then eventually found the third, with the iconic view granted, we couldn't face going down to go back up into it!!! Boiling hot. So we had something to eat too a couple of photos and turned round!!!! Then luckily it was a free wheel down to Marina la Ragusa. Just up the road from punta la secca. A sleek resort obviously popular with wind and kite surfers. Back to camp for last time. Got some handy info from some of our fellow campers, then shattered, off to bed.
My plan is to travel and work around the world. Will be cycling most of the way apart from the odd flight to avoid the war zones! Probably take about three years to do it and I've started the 100 week countdown to setting off in June 2013. Will be painting along the way and will post images as I go. (Old Plan) ................ CYCLE AND PAINT! (New Plan for 2016)
