OK well today I went sightseeing, because there is still no one else wanting to go to monkey island and the tour needs 2 people. Although I’m that desperate I might pay double to go.So I did some old fashioned…
Doorway to hell…. if you believe in it.
Today I went to another volcano. This time it was Volcan Masaya, which essentially is a nice friendly drive up volcano, except that one of the craters is very much active. Looking into the crater you can see smoke and…
