Beautiful port of call today, Amalfi.  We took a tender boat. This is a charming little town, beaches, sculptures, history of paper making and shops to visit that still sell the products. Walked through the windy streets and old archways, taking stairs and looking in shop windows. The temperature was still hot today, the sea created a bit of breeze. 

Back to the ship for a cooling dip in the pool and fresh salad with tasty toppings for lunch. Stayed in bathing suit with dress cover up – great way to beat the heat!!!! We explored the ship and started a jigsaw puzzle of colourful Venice.  Signed up for 4 art classes this voyage. 

Tonight is captains cocktail party and dinner at Polo. I am trying to stay awake so I can sleep at night. Jet lag is a thing!!

Messina and maybe Taormina, Sicily tomorrow. Ciao from the Med sea and this beautiful ship.
