Rare drron29 Posted April 25, 2023 Author #555 Share Posted April 25, 2023 She wasn’t feeling well and now it’s obvious why. She has come down with a nasty cold and is on antibiotics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be curious to see a menu from the Med and I would imagine the food would be delicious for this region. Sorry I missed this post. I am sure I have posted 1 SALT menu before but there is another coming up soon. We only occasionally go to SALT as we find the meals a bit disappointing eg the Bouillbaise in Marseille was a watery imitation of the real dish and the Greek lamb was nice but the accompanying potatoes a limone had no discernable lemon taste. And just like Christmas dinners the menu is not produced on board according to what is available but on instructions given from Head Office. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare drron29 Posted April 25, 2023 Author #560 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Back to Atlantide. First the day's menu. The wines for the night. For starters Rojaan had the beef tataki and I the artichoke timbale. We both enjoyed our starters. I then had the crab and beer bisque. For Mains Rojaan had the prawn dish from the regular menu and I had the Chilean sea bass. Both were excellent. We again decided against desserts. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare drron29 Posted April 25, 2023 Author #561 Share Posted April 25, 2023 The next day we were approaching Giardini Naxos. Couldn't help thinking of worms when saying the first name of the town. Absolutely stunning with Mt. Etna as a backdrop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare drron29 Posted April 25, 2023 Author #567 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Getting close to where we have to stop. Even up here there is graffiti. A lava tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare drron29 Posted April 25, 2023 Author #568 Share Posted April 25, 2023 It wasn't long ago this are was reopened and they hope to reopen a stopping point higher up later this year. There is a gondola up from this point but we didn't have time to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare drron29 Posted April 25, 2023 Author #569 Share Posted April 25, 2023 We stopped where there were restrooms and you could get refreshments. There were some interesting local products from the lower slopes of Etna. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare drron29 Posted April 25, 2023 Author #570 Share Posted April 25, 2023 This was at the back of the restaurant/gift shop. These rocks were quite warm whereas elsewhere nearby they were not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare drron29 Posted April 25, 2023 Author #571 Share Posted April 25, 2023 We now went to walk around one ofthe minor craters from earlier eruptions. There were several slow people in the group so I figured I could walk to 2 of the craters even though one was up a steeper hill. I figured right. So the first crater which when I got up the hill turned out to be a group of craters. At this crater there was a large group og German schoolkids. Things haven't changed since I was a nipper. They stood at the edge of the crater and counted Ein, Zwei, drei and on the count of 3 they all threw a rock into the crater.. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare drron29 Posted April 25, 2023 Author #572 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Back down and a whole line of busses. And a van with more local products. And ice beside the road. Then off to the second crater. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare drron29 Posted April 25, 2023 Author #573 Share Posted April 25, 2023 And that is our group. Down in the crater which they did not go into I was able to see the reddish lava formed because of a high iron content. So not only was I able to walk around the crater but go into the crater but had time to buy myself a mini calzone as I was peckish. They advertise that it was made with gluten free wheat. Needs to be taken with a grain of salt. Here is the place. Not that great but kept the wolves from the door. So now it is back down the mountain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
