Today was a bright and early day, we had to be on the road at 8 to meet up with Mack and Marco at Isola Bella in Taormina. We basically spent all morning and afternoon at the beach walking around in the crystal clear water. We saw a bunch of sea critters like fish, crabs, sea urchins, and some starfish. It was quite the beautiful place. After the morning swim it was nice because Mack and I got to take a 3 hour nap sheltered from the sun, but of course I still got sunburnt on my feet and above my knees.
For lunch we had basically an ice cream sandwich but way way way better because it was gelato and some type of freshly baked bun. Then we went to Taormina which we had to take a gondola up to. Ciccio and Marco said it was a very touristy spot but it was still very neat. We shopped around a bit because Mack wanted a wallet but we couldn't find a shop that had any! So instead we met up with their moms again for a snack of granita. I had strawberry granita, this time with whipped cream. Finally it was time to start making our way home, but we took one more pit stop to take some pictures of the surrounding (provided below of course). Then we said our goodbyes and went home. As for dinner we finally had pizza and it was as good as it I imagined. And now here I am at 1:30 in the morning writing my blog while watching the Italy vs England soccer game.
