The sail-away from Taormina was dramatic – with rows of jagged mountains dwarfed by Etna in the background. This was followed by the night-time passage through the Messina straits, where the lights of Sicily and mainland Italy were visible. Fortunately, TSH and Diva were eating in La Terrazza on deck 7, so they had a good view of all of it.
They decided to cancel their excursion in Palermo – the city
seemed to be comfortably close to the port. They had a pleasant morning,
viewing the theatre and the opera house (from outside) and the main streets and
squares. This was after they had walked past many insistent sellers of tours by
car, mini-train and horse-drawn cart.
TSH and Diva have so far passed the temperature test every
morning. They will be taking another lateral flow test in two days time. The
Captain of the Silver Moon has announced that one further guest has tested
positive but that the total number of cases on board is still < 1% of the
on-board population. Occasionally, guests meet a crew member in a hazmat suit
with a tank strapped to their back, spraying around the public spaces.
