Vulcano

We took another hydrofoil, this one from Lipari to Vulcano, where we'll stay three nights.  After a late, delicious lunch, the hotel driver picked us up at the port, to take us to the hotel.  We settled in, then walked to the nearby black sand beach, past the stinky sulphurous mud baths, and into the little village of Porto di Levante for a lemon granite.  The whole island of Vulcano is overlooked by the smoking multicolored Grand Cratar.  We took the hotel's advice and hiked up a nearby hill to watch the sunset, with a view of seven of the Aeolian Islands.  Breathtaking!
