Yesterday the rain cleared up and left us with a great view of Mt Etna (from Taormina). We were able to walk the streets and visit the Amplitheater before moving closer to Mt Etna.

Today we hiked to the top of Mt Etna which is Europe’s largest active volcano. Walking through the barren lava and ash fields made us think of what the moon must be like.

Miles walked yesterday and today: 18.3
