Taormina is lovely, but touristy, filled with high end shops and restaurants. It is situated high on a hill overlooking the Strait of Messina. Jerry took a walking tour while Carol recuperated from all the walking she did in Siracusa. There’s an ancient theater built by the Greeks for comedies and dramas. It was later converted to an arena for gladiators by the Romans.
We ended the day with a pizza feast with the whole group. Then we bid them a fond farewell since we needed to flee in the middle of the night to catch an early plane. Italian transportation did it again.
