4/30-Messina, Italy (Sicily)





4/30-Docked in Messina, Italy (Sicily). As we had been to Messina before, we decided to visit Taormina, a medieval cliff-hanging town about an hour's bus ride from Messina. It was a very pretty and interesting area with narrow streets and beautiful views of the coastline and Mount Etna, an active volcano and popular skiing area. Unfortunately, our time became limited and we were unable to see all we wanted to, but enjoyed just wandering the streets and stopping for cappucino and gelato, as well as some local bakery products. Took a quick stroll in Messina before leaving for Sarande, Albania. Weather still perfect!
