This weekend Mike and I joined a base sponsored trip which brought us up Etna where we were able to hop on a gondola to take us close to the top (kind of) and then to a wine festival in the town of Milo.
 |
| Our transport up and down the mountain. There were seats for 6 inside. On the way up it was full. On the way down, it was just me and Mike, so we had to sit in the center seats in order to ensure it was balance. |
 |
| Thankfully the doors had little windows that slid down. It was a slow ride, and I definitely need some fresh air! |
 |
| When we stepped outside the building at the top, we saw some friends standing on what looked like an edge with a steep drop. I did get closer, and it really isn't quite as steep as it looks here. |
 |
| We were right up there with the clouds |
 |
| Fortunately there weren't a lot of clouds. We had a nice view of the coastline in Catania |
 |
| Apparently it is a thing to find lava stones and write things with them |
After a while, we got on the bus and headed to the wine festival.
I didn't really have the camera out too much here. There was an area where you buy a glass and tickets. Then you can walk around and try different wines. They had bottle available to buy, put we didn't really care for any enough to buy a bottle. They also had other vendors, food and music. It was a nice trip and a great way to spend the day and evening with some friends!
