Partly, the italian tourism board ask us to do new photos for a website that never appeared online because of a lack of money..

That last one looks like one of the temples in Agrigento.

Very embarassing, don't remember now. it's a temple but not in Agrigento. There are much more temples as do you think. :rolleyes:

I went on a day trip from Taormina to see them. It was a hell of a long day. Paestum in Campania is the place for temples.

Migrants coming over from North Africa by boat:

It's usually not a problem but the islands are being swamped by arrivals.

Ah right, thanks. I guess the islands will never be the same again.

Yes, a very big problem especially for the island of Lampedusa ( Italy but faraway from sicily ) that lives of tourism. The massive arrivals of migrants is a very negative point.
