I can't tell you the smile I get when I see that I have responses. <br><br>Alright, enough house keeping. Back to being crazy so I have new, exciting things to blog about!

... a bus tour to Mt. Etna but it was just a bus not guided. So I looked at other options. I found all sorts of different options. Many of them left early in the morning. So while I spent my time calling and researching the other options, my original bus tour departed and I was no longer going to Mt. Etna by any of the many options I had unearthed. Hmpf. (Haha, unearthed. I just caught that on my second read through for proofing. Nice one, Jos.)<br><br>But, I had a lovely time in Taormina ...

From there we made our way down to the Piazza Del Duomo, a UNESCO World Heritage site. We tried to go to the botanic gardens but this was shut and then sadly for us so was our favourite pastry shop, yes that's right we have been here a day and we already have a favourite pastry shop.

... probably have shortened stays at a couple of them. I loved the look of this port but we were only there for one hour and weren't allowed off the ship. You will have to look on the map to find out where we have just been. Weather is absolutely fabulous, sea is calm and the drinks are still flowing. Keep the emails and messages coming, we love them.

It's a shame that every time I took a photo of Yolanda, she looked at her feet. You've got to see her eyes! At any rate, today has been ...
