Palermo (Sicily)

Arrived at our next port/city, Palermo, Sicily, Italy! Again had such incredible weather, we have been so so lucky.

Our excursion today was called “Mysterious Palermo”. All 7 of us went on the excursion so we had a good time!! We got to walk through an ancient arabic-style palace (Castello della Zisa), then got to go down to the Capuchin Catacombs which is the largest collection of mummies in the world.

Next we stopped for a quick snack, then headed to “new town” where we got to tour a beautiful arabic-inspired church, see the “The Fountain of Shame”, and see the intersection known as Theater of the Sun (Teatro del Sole), where the four ancient quarters of Palermo meet and the sun lights up each corner like a spotlight as the day goes on.

Since this was a morning excursion, we got the rest of the afternoon to sun bathe on the pool deck (overlooking the city and mountains) and play some family pickleball!! Also had a great asian meal for dinner on the ship :)もっと詳しく
