Sicily, land of majestic sights and quintessence of Southern Italian appeal, here we are! "Rome to Sicily" is the official name of the Tour, but since this is the "way back" we like to call it "Sicily to Rome"... Let's start!

8 Americans, 6 Brasilians, 6 Guatemalans, 1 British (but he counts as double since this is already his second time on this tour – welcome back Korkee!) and Michael, our German guide and tour hero (is this your 18th or 19th time?) + Alan and Manuel, Italian guides – given that we are riding through small-to-tiny Italian villages, having someone on board mastering the local idiom can be handy.

Lots of big Beamers (even a red GS, happy Matt?), three sexy black Ducati Multistrada 1200S, a sweet baby Monster and the new exciting Triumph Tiger 800XC are sleeping just few meters away – by the poolside and near the palm trees of the Villa, lucky them to be on vacation with us!

Tomorrow it's gonna be a great day.. the Day1, from Catania to Agrigento and its glorious Valle dei Templi.

We will keep you posted!
