Ken skate the loop road around island
Ken getting started skating in Lipari town
first village north of the ferry dock is
Canneto
next village is Aquacalda on the north
side. Then comes the big climb over the shoulder of the head of land
beyond the village -- the road goes above the sea cliffs.
looking back northeast from almost the top
of the climb to the islands of Stromboli and Panarea - (Stromboli is
an active volcano)
islands of Alicudi and Filicudi and Salina,
west from Lipari
snowy Mt Etna to the south (on the main
island of Sicily) and on the left the closer island of Vulcano, seen
from the village of Pianoconte
the southern Lipari archipelago -- with the
crater of Vulcano above and beyond (see white smoke from fumaroles).
After our walking + skating on Lipari, Sharon + Ken took the ferry
over to Vulcano island and hiked up to that
crater.
finishing with a long exciting downhill
east across the island back to Lipari town, where Sharon + Ken
rejoined at the ferry dock.
