Sunday 2 October

Sunday 2 October
A bright and early morning for the Mount Etna tour. Our bus guide spoke three languages, Italian, English and German, none of them well and we could hardly understand a word he said the while trip. But we didn't need him to explain what Mount Etna was, or when it had erupted. The bus ride was as scary as always, with narrow an windy Italian roads. the fanicula ride to the 'summit' was short and expensive at €28 each. The weather was foggy, and so we ended up staying pretty much indoors an watched a video on previous eruptions. Stromboli was much better, but it had to be done.

We had a lovely fish, prawn, pizza, salad, frizzante and wine dinner overlooking he Taormina coast. A spectacular view and topped off with fireworks! They must have known we were there.
