Yowza! Some cool stats.

... images section on their homepage. I'm stoked!

But here's the thing I think is coolest. (See photo to the left.) I assumed most of these countries were highlighted because I've been meeting fellow travelers, but then I realized there are some countries here where I haven't met people from. Which means random people in random parts of the ...

All by myseeeeeelf.

... it's definitely, definitely the Sicilian way.

But, all that said, not to be concerned. I am being safe, despite what my tales tell.

Tomorrow I was again hoping to make it to Mt. Etna with one of the many options I had researched, but no luck. It is late tourist season and they needed a group of 10 to go. An hour ago when I called to confirm if it was on, they were only at 6. Bummer. I think I may go to Stromboli instead and see that volcano. Plus, it's not like I was ...

B&B Alba Hotel

... Piazza Stesicoro,
where you can admire the so-called "Old Catania, remains
the fabulous Roman Amphitheater, built probably around the second century
AD, second in size only to the Colosseum in Rome.

The Bed and Breakfast Alba Hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms to stay
quietly and discreetly, characterized by a refined interior and

... condizionata, tutte le comodità per
trascorrere durante la permanenza gradevoli e rilassanti momenti,
all'interno del cuore di Catania, le nostre stanze, curate nei minimi

A quick arancini before our bus ride.

... disappointment we headed back to our hostel as the rain started to fall. It looks like we haven't left the bad weather behind us, yet.

We checked the weather report for the next few days and they weren't looking to good, with that in mind we decided to book our train ticket and head to Rome on the next overnight train.

We had one last day in Sicily and the weather looked like we could step out of doors. We headed straight for the bus ...

grosstadt auf sizilien: catania

... geschlossen zu halten und die türen zu verriegeln, denn dies sei ein ‚very dangerous‘ quartier :-), was er als ur-catanier zu genüge wisse.

Er nahm uns mit bis an die tal-station der ätna-seilbahn, wo alle anderen touris auch mit ihren cars und autos hinfahren konnten. Dort steigen wir zusammen auf einen der seitlichen neben-krater, wo jeder pauschal-tourist raufkraxeln konnte. Ich dachte, dies sei der beginn und wir würden dann wirklich in die h ...

Couples Paradise

A lovely quaint very old area. Stayed in a lovely hotel with great attentive staff would recommend it to any couple looking for a romantic break or second honeymoon. Just off the main shopping street of Corso Umberto but found that the shopping was over priced so don't go expecting any bargains.

Mount Etna Lives On

The people from Florence are described as "changeable and moody".

Mt. Etna is much the same.

Evolution of the volcano is described as:

“destructive periods, collapses, landslides and subsidences alternate with constructive periods (explosive, pyroclastic activity & emission of lava).”

Much like us people. J

Killing Catania and Seeing Sicily

... Additionally our Sicily adventure with the weather, as well as the impromptu travel took it's toll, and of course the final straw was missing our afternoon flight and not getting out of Catania until Sicily. But when it was all said and done, I'd seen more of Italy in 10 days than I had in my previous 3 months, something I suspected would happen on Lauren's visit. And it was great having my sister come out and visit me. At Milano Central Train Station, I had to ...

Sicily and Mt Etna

... rock that burns my hand. If i went a further metre down i would find rock still smoldering at 300 degrees from the 2003 eruption. I am amazed by the tremendous power of this mountain that could completely wipe out Sicily and form a new larger island. I think i´ll sit and continue to simply look at it for a while before heading back to Catania.´´ I´m going to try and make my way to Rome tonight on an overnight train we´ll see how i go! Keep Smashing it up! Mr Kewl
