Vulcano Island

The fast boat ferry that took us to the Islands.
It was a lot rougher than the other boats we went on but it went pretty fast!
Our first glimpse of the island.
A stall on the side of the road. Tonya was eyeing the fruits:)
Jeff was going to sit with our luggage while we walked up the volcano but the ticket seller said we could keep our bags in his office until he opened it again at 6pm and we got our ferry at 6:30pm.
The sign to the volcano trail.
The dock at Vulcano.
Dinner after we hiked the volcano. It didn't taste very good but I was so hungry I inhaled in.
Starting on the trail.
A view of the city from the hill.
A change from volcanic rock to mud clay.
Resting towards the top of the trail.
At the rim with vents all around.
Tonya at the rim. It was really warm.
We made it to the top.
One of the sulphur vents. Phew!

Playing games with a Sicilian card deck.

Getting on the train for our night trip to Rome.

  1. Oh man, I'll bet you all stunk like sulphur after that. You meal looked tasty. It looked like some kind of veggie pizza or something. Why did it taste bad?

  2. It had anchovies and the greens were like a weed and tasted like it. The crust was really thick and bready. Not too my liking and Tom bought one and took a bite and threw it away.
