Fonza d Agro Village in the hills

The ancient village of Fonza d Agro 420m above sea level in the even higher mountains above the Crystal Sea Hotel was just calling me so a nice Sunday drive "but ... no Sunday drivers" it was like an Italian hill climb for rally cars and a race to the top.

 

Loving the panorama setting on the Ipad with views to the east to the Ionian Sea and the mainland of Italy

 

 

This is the village that a lot The Godfather was filmed

 

 

As you can imagine its is ALL steps, so tired legs by the end of the day.

 

 

  A beautiful 25 deg day so great for exploring

 

 

Check out the individual terracotta drain pipes

 

 

A view to Mount Etna in the far distance

 

 

More weathered steps, but this time up to a chocolate museum in the old church so lets check that out

 

 

 

A confusion picture "so I esplain you"

Gosh I'm sounding so Italian they say that all the time.

Alora above in a picture of a street in Sicily and the bottom 3 steps are all made in white chocolate and painted to look like tiles.

The whole museum was of  historical building and statues

 

 

 That's a LOT of chocolate Sandy!!!

  

 

 

Even the Godfather film set was done in chocolate

 

 

So its a curvy drive back down the race track to the Crystal Hotel past the remains of a Norman Castle.
