After the hectic pace of trying to see the sights of Rome and Pisa, the two towns in Sicily: Lipari and Siracusa, were a nice change of pace. Lipari was a tender port, and we ended up getting in late, so we only had time for a quick beer and walk around the little town. It was a beautiful port, with lots of old buildings and a church at the top of a hill that I took lots of pictures from.
Sicily, especially, Siracusa, is apparently home to the Italian dessert, Cannoli. I will remember this vacation by my complete overconsumption of said dessert. Siracusa was a very nice little town. We were there on a Sunday and ended up discovering a farmer's market with delicious cheese, bread, olives, etc. After snacking on our first cannolli of the day, we got a little bit lost and ended up taking a taxi back to the ship. After lunch, I discovered the more picturesque area of town.
