Tuesday Stromboli
Early morning rise, drove to Milazzo to catch the hydrofoil to Stromboli. Here pizza lunch followed by a mid afternoon walk up Stromboli. This was 900 meters in height, and took us 2 hours 40 minutes to climb. At the top we were able to look down on the active craters, only 100 meters distant. We stayed and watched till after sunset, and then walked back down an ash slope in the dark. At the bottom stayed in a bar for a few beers and G&Ts. Excellent portion of Gin, though at past midnight the bar ran out of ice and was unable to server an more G&Ts. Luca the leader was persuaded to stay for a few drinks. His tipple was CubraLibra. (Crushed lime with ice and rum) I was fascinated by the waitress, I could not fathom how she kept her jeans on, or if it was at all possible they could be any lower. Back to our rooms by 1.30. Great day.
