This is the best description Nelson and I can come up with to describe Mt Etna's Silvestri Crater.
After a one hour bus journey through narrow switch backs that could make any mountain in the US envious, we found ourselves 6500 feet in the clouds walking in one of the most famous craters and lava beds of this, the most active volcano in Europe.
We were able to walk the 400m around the rim and even dip into one or more crevices. It was legendary.
Taormina is next. The quaint tourist town is a rare gem. No matter how many tourists are here, you can find peace and quiet in one of the many gardens or monuments.
We are headed back to the ship in a few, but this, I had to share.
Sorry I haven't written a lot about the ship, but I'm sure most cruises are pretty standard, even though for me, it's bright, shiny, exciting and new. I'm still in awe of the organization of the events. It's like an orchestra.
Having the time of our lives.
