Our first cruise destination was reached today at noon. Our group of eight had the morning on our own to relax and regroup. We met in David and my cabin at noon to disembark and meet our driver. Our driver located, we headed around the edge of Sicility then climbing a winding, narrow road up the hill to see beautiful sights of the coast. Mt. Edna's peak was hiding behind low clouds but thankfully the clouds did not contain rain. We had blue skys and very comfortable weather today. A few of the group even braved the tour in shorts!
I can elaborate more in another post about our tour guide, but let's suffice it to say he rated average as a guide, not excellent.
The shops were closed most of the afternoon, but we were able to do some window shopping, viewing some of the important squares, cathedrals, as well as the ancient theaters. Some snuck in a little gelato along the way. David and I bought what we thought was gelato. Mine was like ice cream that was made from a lumpy, custard. It tasted good, but the consistency wasn't consistent.
With plenty of time to spare, our driver returned us to the ship where we have each dispersed to our cabins for a little R&R before dinner.
