As the little ones are starting to pack, we are sending you this email to let you know that we had another very hot but wonderful day. The little cherubs woke at 6:00 a.m. this morning and after breakfast we boarded the buses to go to Taormina. We got to Villa San Giovanni Calabria and we boarded the ferry to Messina Sicilia. The little explorers enjoyed the spectacular view off the strait of Messina and of course found time to discover the culinary delights on the traghetto. That arancini in fact were very tasty and the little ones enjoyed them very much. Taormina was very hot but the little adventurers enjoyed it very much. After a few hours we left Taormina to get back on the ferry across the strait and we made our way to Reggio Calabria. The lungo mare was spectacular and the little ones also enjoyed shopping in the main street of Reggio Calabria. We got back to the hotel just before 10:00 p.m. and we went straight to the lunch room where a hot "light" dinner was waiting for us. Dinner ended with Biagio's homemade gelato al limone and the little travellers were sent to their rooms to start the packing.
