It was very nice to go bij bus to the Etna, our guide was nice and told us everything about the mountain and every thing wat was going on. We saw very beautiful kraters en snow Really nice to go there. Next stop was the alcantara kloof this is also very nice to go you must take watershoes to walk in the water.
