Dec. 29
Today was literally volcano day. We went first thing at 9:00 on a Volcano Tour. We did not get to see much of the volcano. But we had much more of a rainforest tour. We listened to many different birds and learned about different trees. One of the birds had a funny call that sounded like a whistle. Once we were done with this tour, we went inside a lava tube. There was one where firelamps were lit along the wall. So, we could see where we were walking. For the other lava tube you had to be equipped with a flashlight. It was pitch dark and our flashlights were not as luminant. The others' flashlights did not help. So we went about 3/4 of the way and came back. Later on, we walked on igneous rocks and lava rocks. Some were pretty sharp. We stopped by a couple of these sites. Then we drove towards a 2004 lava flow. It took a pretty long to get there. The lava flow had blocked the middlle of a road so no one could drive there.We then parked our car and walked on the lava flow. It was really splendid. We also saw a sign that had on it written Road End. But more lava had flowed on past the sign. In some areas you could see portions of the road. Then we went on and saw a sea arch. After this we went to subway and made our sandwich saw Rainbow Falls and the night started to approach. We had a hard time looking for our next stop, an active volcano with lava. Luckily it will not flow. We walked on the volcano until we reached the top erupting point. Right as we stepped on a person signalled to someone else with an emergency signal. We thought the volcano was going to erupt and we left very hastily. Later we parked somewhere and ate because once we reached our hotel we knew it would be sleeping time. When we got to our hotel we fell flat on the beds provided.
