...PACAYA VOLCANO...Gautamala...13th March 08...
...day scene from our hostel in ANTIGUA Gautamala...
...from Antigua 2 hour bus ride then over 2 hours of gruelling steep climb to reach the LAVA FLOW...and what we saw was just mind-blowing...we had to cross some 300 meters of 12 months dried old lava field to reach the actual LAVA flow-and you could feel the heat from lava flow even from far as 500 meters and it got hotter and hotter as we came to within 15 feet of RED HOT LIQUID LAVA FLOW...
...the LAVA FIELD looked like land from another planet far away-all different forms of wrinkles,bends etc....
...after carefully walking across the LAVA FIELD we reached the LAVA FLOW coming out of the crater of Pacaya Volcano and what we saw was just a dream come true-seeing actual lava flow for the first time in our life...some got even closer to toast marshmallows...I am about 15 feet away...
...there were quite a few LAVA FLOWS ...as lava cools on the surface it becomes hard and becomes a lava tube and in the tube lava keeps flowing and that is what we saw here-lava coming out of the crater of the volcano through the lava tube and out for us to see...
...it also started raining and got dark for good effects but we had one hell of a day yet again.seeing lava this close has to be in top ten of best things seen on our tour yet!....
...Vedanta was very brave indeed walking across the LAVA FIELD as it was right damn dangerous many times -Pritti ,myself and our guide Ronni were holding her hands both front and back to guide her down safely...
...I was really overwhelm seeing this because I always thought only them explorers and the likes of Richard Attenborough only got to see this kinds of nature at work......STUPENDOUS...
...this pix shows cool lava tube and lava flowing in the lava tube...this our group......we had 6 Israelis in our group-let me say that I am not an anti-jew or anything like that-but travelers from Israel are the worst kind of people we have met on our travels-they are RUDE,MOST UNFRIENDLY,ARROGANT,INYOUR FACE,THINKS WORLD OWES THEM A FAVOUR OR TWO and these 6 were the worst of the worst...
...live a little you WANKERS...
