Day 26: Messina Sicily,

I used to know a poem about how Italy kicked little Sicily into the Mediterranean Sea. I can now sort of see why. 
After being in the beautiful Amalfi Coast area yesterday Sicily was quite disappointing. The boat docked early and we were able to wander off at our own leisure. 
The city was very dirty with lots of rubbish and graffiti, we wandered around the souvenir shops and then around the city. Although there is a lot of history it is hard to look past the rubbish, including burnt out motorbikes.
One of the great things about being on a cruise ( apart from the towel animals of course) is that usually you can get back on whenever you want and it gives you a taste of the city. Well this one didn't taste so good so it was back on the ship after a few hours to enjoy our floating home.

Tonight's towel animal was a puppy and oddly enough I found myself sitting next to it patting it... must be missing Rory, tomorrow's Port is Malta... Can't wait.
