Ray and pals wandering around Sicily, talking rubbish and reenacting scenes from the Godfather. Then, Ray has the nerve (or ignorance) to say, towards the end, that people shouldn't think Sicily is all about the Godfather. From the first episode, with Ray's mangled attempt to explain the story of the Odyssey and the group going into a shop looking for tools to cut up a body (ordinary 10 year olds would be beyond stupidity like that), I thought this would to be bad. I kept watching because I have never visited Sicily, and it is on my list of places to visit.
Even when not pretending to be gangsters, he got things wrong. High up iun the mountains ( it was Etna, I think, but not checking because I couldn't stomach watching this again), surrounded by snow on a Mediterranean island, he says Etna is 3000 feet high. Couldn't believe that, so I checked it. Etns is over 3,000 METRES high - nearly 11,000 feet, hence the snow in winter despite the comparitively low latitude (37 degrees N).
Still want to visit Sicily, despite this drivel.
