Our drive to Mt. Etna from Taormina took about an hour and we drove past some interesting small towns on the way.
An impressive cathedral in a small town on the way up Etna.
When we got to the cable car station at 1923m it was almost 11:30. It was a good thing that we avoided the busy morning traffic.
At the other end of the cable car (2500m) we got on a truck and we got taken towards one of the craters at 2920m.
There are 4 craters in total and some are smoking. This one was quiet.
We tracked around one of the smoking craters. The walk was harder than usual. I guess altitude played a part.
There was not a whole lot of volcanic activity other than smoke. I was getting a little bored I have to say.
See the awesome power at Yasur volcano in Vanuatu! Etna paled in comparison.
