Tuesday saw us take on the Gary Player designed course here. It was a good challenge on a hot, humid morning. The afternoon intention was to go to see the baroque duomo and churches in Ragusa. We drove there after lunch to arrive, find parking in the narrow streets, get to the cathedral no discover that this was closed! No matter, plenty of churches down the hill - one on the street of the steps was well advertised so we went there. Again, no joy, the doors were firmly closed. No matter, a walk back up the hill to find the car and a run into the other half of the city (divided after an earthquake and by a large ravine, would let us see the main church on that side. So we set off, took the hairpin turns, found our way into Ragusa Ible and its main square to discover that Sicily was once again shut to us.
We decided then to cutback to visit Donnafugata Castle as we knew this would be open. It was well worth the visit, with an interesting exhibition and English on most of the information boards. After this we did manage to find a shop that was open and stock up twitch some liquids. Then back to the hotel for an evening of cards and wine.
