Isole Eoile

From taxi to boat, island to island our first stop, an island about 40 km north of Milazzo, Sicily is Vulcano. You will find a resort like atmosphere, surrounding palm trees and black sand beaches that will scorch your feet in middle of the day. While you will find your self searching for a cool refreshing body of water, instead why not jump in to a detoxifying pool of sulfur. THE MUDD BATHING is something else!! Jump out of the Mudd, hop on a boat. Stromboli here we come!! Second stop though was Panerea. Possibly the best dish of pasta on the face of this Earth. While overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, a family-owned ristorante allowed us to enjoy this wonderful meal within a thirty minute time frame. As the boat tooted its horn, we ran down the mountain and just made it to the next island which was about 2 hours away. Time was non existent, and Volcanic eruptions are active on Stromboli. Though our entire trip was surrounded by wonder, the lava explosions were not the height of the trip. Was it the message in the bottle on the returning trip? Or was it the Smell of sulfur through our pores? Not one particular event can describe the entire two day adventure, but certainly the spontaneity and the collectivities of our group let us enjoy like none other.
