Our next stop is Messina on the Island of Sicily. We took a bus ride over to Taormina which was a filming location for the TV series, The White Lotus Season 2. Unfortunately we got stuck in traffic and spent a large amount of time trying to get over there. Once there we walked around town and had a gelato.
Next we head over to Naples and took a bus over to the Pompeii ruins, This is the village that was buried when the volcano, Mt. Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD. It was discovered much later and they have slowly been clearing out the debris,
Next, our final stop, Livorno, Italy. I went on day trip to Florence and Gloria went on an afternoon trip to visit the town of Pisa to see the famous Tower of Pisa. The leaning tower is a freestanding bell tower of Pisa Cathedral. It is known for its 4 degree lean caused by an unstable foundation. The tower originally leaned 5.5 degrees. They did attempt to straighten it but couldn't so they left it as it is.
Now - on to the next one
