Some final tales from Ispica

Ente uncovered
Sunset at Ispica
Progressed onto helping out Bernd with some of the more complicated tasks that completes daily. This time it is deconstructing a car engine, retuning the brakes and fixing the coupling. This turns out to be an oily and dirty job. With only a few spanners and a lot of know-how the engine was deconstructed and rebuilt within 4 hours. "Ich wöllte eins" was my repeated phrase during the day, in reference to this Citroen 2CV "Ente" car.
I keep bumping into the local youths who hang around street corners on their mopeds. They introduce me to their fellow school friends who look at me, then the bike and then the route we took from Berlin and keep saying "no credo!".
There is a multitude of flowers and various plants in Bernd's exotic gardens but the cactus flowers only on one night a year and I got to witness these strange plants in full bloom.

Do vegetarians make an exception for tortoises?
Hats off, to you sir
Cactus blooms once per year - magnifico
