it was a good value for the one trip around 20 eurs for both of us so 10 each

this was a good uh little break from all the shopping but we can do we can shop at home

CRUISE VIDEOS WILL BE RELEASING EVERY WEDNESDAY MORNING! DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE TO SEE EACH AND EVERY PORT FROM OUR LATEST ADVENTURE. Today we're back in Italy! We're taking a very fun tiny train ride (even if it's NOT a hop on, hop off train ride) and then heading to the watch the full Astronomical Clock display? show? ringing? of the Bell Tower on the Cathedral of Messina. It was designed and constructed in 1933, is a short walk from the cruise port and if you arrive at exactly 12 o'clock noon you can see the full 12 minute display it puts on every single day. It's absolutely amazing to see all of the parts and think about what it would have taken to construct all the pieces so long ago.
