Messina Italy

This was the first port of call on our itinerary. We awoke to a beautiful sunny morning and was docked right along side the main road of the town. Some of the passengers opted to go on excursions to Mount Etna but the majority took the short walk to the town centre and most of the attractions. These consisted of a cathedral with the worlds largest astronomical clock, a fountain and a few other nice buildings but really not an awful lot going on.

It's nice to stroll around the shops and take in the local sights. Also as we had been on board for 30 hours or so, it was nice just to go for a stroll.

Back on board and off to the next destination.........
