Sicily Trip

Just came back from a trip to Sicily; went to Alcantara Gorge (or George as one girl mispronounced it), Mount Etna (boy was it freezing up there!), Panarea (holiday destination for the wealthy), Stromboli (what's cooler than black sand?!) and Taormina (talk about high-brow). Whilst we were there, we were lucky enough to see Mount Etna erupt at night on our boat journey back to the mainland, it was so, so far away and yet we could see it so clearly- it looked like the eruptions you see on TV; a hot, orange glow in the distance at the top of a massive (and I mean massive) mound of earth. I had a great trip and there is no way I'm never going there again!
