Italy 2011 Volcano Adventure Vacation

For our 30th wedding anniversary Heather and I went on an adventure to Italy (April 14th, 2011 - May 5th, 2011). More specifically we spent two weeks on a tour with Volcano Discovery climbing active volcanoes and then spent five days in Rome by ourselves. We wrote an article for Rock and Gem Magazine describing our trip which was published in the January 2012 issue of the magazine. A scanned version of the article is available here if you would like to read it.

We had a wonderful time on both parts of our vacation and met some very nice people along the way. I've broken up the trip into six sections accessible via the links below. If you have any questions about the photos, email us at: calhjh@gmail.com. Feel free to download any of the photos by right clicking on them and selecting "Save Image As..." from the popup menu.

Our tour was led by Dr. Tom Pfeiffer of Volcano Discovery and included Heino Pachschwöll from Germany, Helle and Henrik Stub from Denmark, Angelika Maria Bauch and Oliver Knaup from Germany and Richard and Miranda Viljoen from South Africa.
