As part of our tour <link 210>From Stromboli to Etna</link>, we usually climb Etna's summit craters. In October, an early snowstorm had just passed before our tour, blanketing much of Etna's upper areas in a beautiful snow cover.

As part of the <link 210>Stromboli to Etna tour</link>, we visited Stromboli island in October 2007. We show some of the tour hotos taken during our stay on the island where we also climbed up to the craters.

An unual wave of bad staormy weather hit Sicily early in mid to end October 2007,- when our tour <link 210>Etna to Stromboli</link> took place. We experienced several violent rain storms, were stuck on Vulcano Island for two days, had snow on Etna, got wet and dry again, saw water spouts and impressive colors.
This page is dedicated to my wonderful group, who took everything with a great deal of humour: Kevin, Keith, Chris, Joe, Brian, Rob, Dave and Ray.
