Great stop today. Taormina is a lovely town on the top of a hill about 250 meters above sea level. The cobble stone Main Street is a walking street with wonderful shops, cafes and churches. Today's photos were all about the artfully displayed shop windows with pottery, gelato, and Italian high fashion.
Jim had only one old pile of rocks to visit today and he had to pay 20 Euro to do it. There is a Greco-Roman theatre that is still in use. Seas were pretty rough and we tendered into port. We were one of the last boats back to the ship before the captain ceased the tender service. We left about 200 passengers and crew behind and sailed to the bigger port of Messina to pick them up. They had an hour bus ride to catch the ship. Glad it wasn't us.
Tomorrow we visit Positano, Italy.
Another dream come true...to see the tombs of the pharaohs. For over a month, we will explore the ancient wonders of western civilization from Egypt to Britain. We will fly to Cairo and on to Luxor, then we will board Regent Voyager in Safaga, Egypt to sail on to Jordan, Israel, Turkey, Greece, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal and England.
