We spent the afternoon exploring the town but as it was Monday, the museums were closed.
The bastions provided wonderful views over the town and we could still see our ferry moored in the port. We reached the top by ascensore (lift) and our 1st stop was a restaurant for lunch!
St Mary's duomo was spectacular with elaborate carved marble altars and columns. The crypt was the most elaboratewe have seen built we were told by a pompous bishop who wanted the best in Italy.
We also visited the Vice regal palace with its elaborate rooms and furnishings. It also housed a toy exhibition that was rather an odd combination!

We visited a palace somewhere in the UK that had an exhibition of dog collars... so toys seems pretty normal in comparison to that!
You are lucky to see the furnishings and rooms of Viceregal Palace. The lunch spot alone is very inviting. Do share more of your escapades soon!
You really make it seem really easy with your presentation however I find this matter to be actually something
which I believe I'd by no means understand. It seems too complicated and very large for me. I am taking a look ahead in your subsequent submit, I will try to get the cling of it!
