Well today after work we all went on a hike to tw Arenal volcano, the most active volcano in costa rica and the third most active in the world. You can only get so close as the are little eruptions eachday, so we hiked as far as the rock formations which fell as a result of the last big eruption on 1992 and 1967. The landscape looked like Mordor and the road up to mount doom! The were rock and boulders as far as the eye could see, luckily no orks, and the surrounding land is full of trees and cattle. I had been hoping to sew some lava but aparently this volcano is not a lava volcano, it usually erupts rocks and gases. In fact while we were there it spurt out boulders and we heard them coming down the volcano and saw all the smoke. Each rock is around the size of a Volkswagen beetle and on impact it breaks up and avalanches down the sides.
Today was unually clear so we had a great view but it was also abnormally hot and close and again I was a sweaty mess! It's becoming a permanent state of mine. Not something I am enjoying.
So this weekend is looking like a trip to La Fortuna, a town about 2 hours away, right next to arenal volcano. I'm going with 4 other girls and we are planning to visit the natural hot springs and perhaps do waterfall absailing! Can't wait!
Lots if love, hope ur not to cold where you are, I'll try to send some heat ur way! xxxxx
