9^th July 2009

Back from Agrigento we didn’t drive the same route by thee coast and took the inland route to see the land and some small towns.

We decided during this trip to visit next day the Volcano of Mt. Etna with the longest period of eruptions in the world and an elevation 3350meters.

10^th July 2009

It was a long drive and a hot day but when we arrived on the 2,000meters it was very cold, how stupid of us to be dressed like the way we were! We never thought that would be so cold there.

We came back to Syracuse and had a nice dinner and talked about the sailing plans for the next morning south down the coast of East Sicily and then turn west towards Hamammet Tunisia.
