Bomb craters
For Anita
July 17th 2001 Etna erupted big style. This normally would get me very interested,
especially since Etna is practically in our neighbourhood, so to say (it's a 3 hour
flight when flying direct). Unfortunately I was so much occupied with working I even
didn't follow the news. Anita found this strange, and looking back I find it strange
as well. Luckily Anita pushed for a short visit to the mountain and the island, and
though I tried to bail out last minute we got going, and man, am I glad we did it.
My project and contract were done by end of July, as was the eruption - almost.
We went for a week from the 8th to the 15th of August, and arrived just in the nick
of time to see the last lava flows moving. Apart from crawling on and around Etna
we travelled around the whole of Sicily and got a whole new, positive impression
of the island we had visited before in April 1999 on our way to the Isole Eolie
(Lipari Islands).
Join us for the trip, and jump on board with just a click.
