Lovely weather, ugly city.
Right off the bat we were harassed relentlessly by people offering tours
and taxis. It was a real turnoff. The city itself has a grimy feel. The streets were littered with trash and
cigarette butts. We did manage a pretty
good walk, seeing several highlights including the Teatro Massimo. It claims to be the second largest
performance hall in Europe, after the Paris Opera
House. It was impressive. But we felt a little uneasy as we tried to
walk some of the back streets. We ended
up sticking to the main roads. We got
back to the ship in time for lunch.
Miles walked: 5.7
