We woke up to a very wet balcony and grey skies with rain forecast. Sure enough it rained as we walked into the old town to look at the cathedral and the elephant with a stick statue. There was no sign of Mt. Etna in the clouds so we were glad we had not booked a tour, it would have been very disappointing. It did brighten up briefly as we sat in the duomo square with a cappuccino and arrancini, the local rice delicacy. Back on board in time for afternoon tea of cream scones before we sailed away into the evening gloom, still no sight of Etna.a cosmopolitan for Rosemary and a classic James Bond for me, $3 premium on drinks package. Dined in the Marco Polo restaurant again, sat beside an interesting couple from Germany and Finland.
Then I had a Talisker whisky in the Cellar Masters bar, followed this morning by a hangover.
