Istanbul to Monte Carlo
Monday, September 27, 2010
Bonjorno......today is Monday the 27th and we are in Sicily. We first headed inland to a little village called Savoca, which is nestled between two hills. Upon arrival we visited the Cappuccini Church, which houses 37 mummified bodies, whom were fully dressed 18th century friars and nobles. A few footsteps from here Francis Ford Coppola filmed scenes of Godfather II.....the wedding of Michael Corleone and also the bar scene at Bar Vitelli. We departed down a winding but partially paved road to a charming little village named Taoirmina, where scenes from Godfather III were filmed, which is at the base of Mount Edna. Mount Edna is one of the worlds major active volcanoes, it is also the largest and highest in Europe. We enjoyed pizza and gelato before boarding the ship for MORE food and vino! Bonjorno! News alert!!!!! Our next Port of Sorrento has been cancel due to bad weather. Going to try to get into Naples instead......
