Messina and Mt. Etna

Our first stop on the cruise was Messina, Sicily.


View from the port

From Messina we took an excursion to Mt. Etna. The further we went, the cloudier it became. However, it cleared up again as we got even further up the volcano. Our time there was pretty short, but we did get a chance to see and explore some old vents and lava flows and watch the clouds come up the side of the volcano.






If you look closely, Doc is in the center of the crater!
