Day 72.Thurs 10th June.
Aciriale.
Aciriale.
Eventually get our act together and set off eastward along the south coast to Aciriale. A pleasant easy drive and arrive in La Timpa International, the most spectacular site of our trip.
A very steep climb down a couple of extreme bends onto a shelf of volcanic rock on volcanic cliffs. Our reward is a panoramic view over the sea, along the coast and mainland Italy. We are very close to the smoking Etna here. The site has its own lift down to a precarious flat area for swimming and sea bathing. Molls hates going in the lift but loves swimming off the cliffs.

The View.

The rocks
This looks such a lovely (if somewhat hairy) site! That water looks so inviting. I also notice that Andy's tan is coming along very nicely!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place!
