Taormina

We discovered all about Mount Etna today. It has been active for the past five days and the cloud over the mountain during the day is caused by the volcanic activity. This morning we could hear rumbling noises and this evening we can see the explosions. It is a very impressive sight to see.

This morning we went to the Greek Theatre, 3rd century B.C. As a comparison with many we saw in Turkey it is well down the list, however, it is still worth a visit just for the view of the volcano behind the stage. There is an opera being performed in the next few days.

The water tap in the photo below is in the piazza near our apartment. To get there we go up the stairs, turn right and walk 10 metres.
