Coming Down



The crater itself was impressive, yet rather like a crater! I guess I expected there to be this huge gaping hole with a bottomless pit and lots of steam. There was steam coming out in places, little holes here and there around the mountain. But overall it seemed pretty calm. Thankfully!


By this time Riley was very glad he had come along. He wasn't too sure when we woke him so early in the morning!


We were served breakfast of steamed bananas on bread and hard boiled eggs which had been steamed as well. As soon as the food was served, the monkeys appeared.


Oh yeah, our shoes were soon full of black sand. The boys had fun picking up lava rocks and deciding which were worth keeping.


By the end of the morning, this guide had completely won Riley's heart! And I think it may have worked the other way as well.
