MOUNT ETNA SICILY






We arrived in Sicily in the rain and the dark and got lost. In fact we found ourselves in a cul de sac in Giardini Naxos where someone was just getting a drug hit. Another quick reverse was used to escape.
Sicily we liked. Giardini Naxos has a great camp site and is a pleasant small place. Greek ruins and lava flows from Etna. We woke in the morning to see Etna over the camp site - its peaks covered with snow and smoke coming from its crater. One night we watched a lava flow from the same place.
John insisted I take photos of Etna from the moving van - I think I have a couple of good road signs.
We also took a photo of typical Sicilian parking for D! Right on the Zebra crossing!
They also have a saint in Sicily called Pancrazio!
