Greetings from Sicily! We're on the lower portion, south of the Straits of Messina, and hanging out in a lovely harbor for the day.
I did over do it yesterday. This was to be expected, it was Pompeii - and it was something I wasn't going to miss. So today - I need to take it easy. Fortunately, it's a little section of town, not a lot to see per se, and something we can cover quickly. The kids are tapped out with history, so a little quick shot into the town will be fine.
We dock - we make our way off the ship and through the streets of Syracuse. We find the bridge up and over a little canal that connects us to the island of Ortygia where there is an ancient temple of Apollo.
Beyond that - I need to find a WC - which I do - and escape finding the lady who would charge me. Woohoo! I'm wiped by this point and take the kids back to the ship for ice cream and pizza...and a book on the deck for me.
Hubs makes his way out to the fort, through more streets and gets a few minutes by himself - I'm so happy for him!
The evening is dinner as a family - perhaps some live music - a movie on deck - a sunset over the Med and a big sigh. It was a good day!
