"I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse"

After another fun day at sea, playing more ping pong, shuffle board, doing karaoke, watching a dance show in the theater, seeing a comedy show, and eating a lot, we docked in Messina on the island of Sicily in Italy.

We heard that there was nothing to do in Messina so we took a bus to Taormina.  I got so motion sick on the bus ride, I was seriously making a plan for where I was going to puke.  Taormina is a neat town up at the top of a cliff.  It has gorgeous views of the sea.  Taormina is known for their Marzapan and also Canoli's.  Yum!

The movie the Godfather was filmed in Taormina, but we opted out of the Godfather tour since neither of us has ever seen an entire Godfather film.  We just walked around, bought some motion sickness gum which made our mouths numb and made us light headed, and we had lunch.
