Due to the landslides in Messina, the captain decided it was safer for us to go to Palermo instead.
The weather here is beautiful and I'm tempted to stay on the beautiful beach for a while. Unfortunately, the ship sails at 4:00 p.m.
We had a lovely tour of the city and then out into the country for a look at their resort area. Our guide said that the water is now too cold for the tourists - it's only about 72 degrees! Sounds warm enough for me!
Did some shopping in town, but we are back on the ship and thinking about packing for our departure in the morning. It has been fun, but I'm ready to get back home.
