Messina - Cefalu

We finally made it by train to the end of the Italian boot, now the exciting trip across the Strait of Messina to the land of my ancestors, Sicily !! This is the ferry we took over. Coming back the train to Roma actually went on tracks into the belly of the ferry ! The engineer was so proud that I took a picture of it, that he pulled open the door and had me take a picture looking out to the sea.  

Train inside ferry coming back!

The view looking back toward Messina!

A HAPPY MARLENE And a very busy shipping channel. There is a bridge to be built in near future.

A nice picture of Port of Messina! On the right is a very pretty statue in the harbor, but we could not interpret the writing? Or who the statue is?
