Our day started off with light rain but Rocco’s upbeat attitude and great tunes kept us going. He brought us to the most incredible places along the coast and told us the history behind a lot of the secret spots. He was open to adjusting the itinerary and was great about giving suggestions on what to see when we were in certain ports. Mid day, the sun finally broke through and we took a dip in the Mediterranean (bucket list item!!)
