Mainland ho!
Buonasera!
Today was the best day of riding yet. We left Taormina and headed to Messina for our ferry ride back to the mainland. Sicily was a lot of fun with amazing ancient artifacts to see.

I'm not exactly sure what I was expecting in the way of scenery but Sicily is a lot more arid and rocky than I expected. I understand that there are 4,000 ...
