Going up to Mt Etna is a quite peaceful, otherworldly adventure, do not miss an opportunity to climb high above this beautiful island for a touch of heaven...
Mt Etna adventure: Drove up to Cave Ox in Solicchiata where we tried 4 different wines, fresh pasta and Tiramusu, on to Zafferana for beautiful views and delicious gelato then continued as high as we could where the kids climbed to the top, we didn't quite make it as high after 4 glasses of wine and pasta, the lava sand is not easy to climb up, but fun to slide down!! Such an amazing adventure!!! It's like Hawaii and the moon had a shining baby, named Mt Etna, I could live up here!!!

Mt Etna was difficult to climb, not only because of the elevation but because the ground was composed of fine volcanic ash. Think walking on a sandy beach at an incline. We never made it to the top, but this view at the midway point isn't too shabby. #adventure
