Southern tip of Sicily, still on roadtrip...

Finally, in the afternoon on the second day, we arrived at the harbor, which lay utterly deserted with a few people fishing in between the boats. It was a long and dusty trail... with miles and miles of tomato fields and the greenhouses they grow in-which supply most of northern Europe with Tomatoes early in the season. It is the first place that will sell and ship tomatoes in the year.
The town known for all the tomato mayhem is called "Pachino". So "Pachino Tomatoes" are actually famous in the tomato world... anyhow. It wasn't as spectacular as thought but we were glad to have reached the coast and our hotel near the town of Marzamemi.

Tomato fields as far as the eye can see!

Driving down a "closed" road... the oleander trees looked like they were covered in snow with their bright red blossoms peaking through like christmas decorations! The dust was too much, otherwise I would have loved to have gotten a close up...

Boats on the horizon! Harbor of Pachino.

Very strange looking vessels! Painted with lions and arabic writing...
