Day 2 of our holiday and our ship docked in Catania, Sicily. All aboard a coach (bus) for a trip up to Mount Etna, at 11,000 feet, Europes highest volcano. One of the main craters was smoking a little, but not enough to deter me from going.

My first visit to Sicily. Shame it was so short, but our ship was only there for a day. The Etna landscape is incredible and constantly changing, like it belongs to another world entirely. I took this from the new visitors centre, which I'm reliably informed, is built over the remains of the old visitors centre, which now lies some 40 feet below.

I expect that when I return to Sicily, there will likely be a new visitors centre built over the trashed remains of the current one.

This photo wouldn't be half as good without the people in it, which give a sense of scale to Europe's highest volcano.
