Salina

Salina, like Lipari, was once a volcano. It is more of a fisherman's island now. Not many people live there - but it's still pretty. A fair amount of "il Postino" was shot on this particular island - the rest was filmed on Lipari, Filicudi, and I believe Alicudi.

Enjoy!



Lipari is known for its pumice stone. This was once where they manufactured it - now it's on the other side of the island.

Our guide LOVED to drive the boat into the smallest caves just to prove "he" could do it.




















This guy posed for EVERY spot the tour guide mentioned - it was hilarious. And each time he looked like this ...











Our little cove ...





Red arrow is to our house on the cliff ...





I was once told I never smiled in photos ... so I tried to do more so on this trip ...





I am not even sure what Lu was upset about - but it was loud - it was funny.
