Above : Our drive to Taormina was very scenic and provided many photo opportunities.

Above : There are many beautiful scenes to capture and also hideaways to explore at the Greek theatre!
Above : Before re-boarding the Splendour of the Seas, I captured some of the views of a ship that I have always loved!
