SA 31: Ciudad Perdida Day 3 – The eternal rain continues…
We had talked to the guides about leaving extra early because we didn’t want to be caught in the rain again like yesterday. We decided on a 6:30 leave, but we didn’t actually leave until 7:30. They said that we needed to leave a little later for the river to go down… which I’m not sure if it was a legit excuse or just trying to buy more time for
SA 30: Ciudad Perdida Day 2 – Miserable, wet, and going into meltdown mode
Today I awoke around 6 am and lounged about and packed my bags in preparation for our so-called 8am departure time. Breakfast was finally served around 9am and we finally left camp around 10am.

The bus is actually fairly nice. It has a bathroom (without toilet paper) thankfully I put it in my day bag thinking
SA 18: Exploring Isabella Island
Today I had to awake and get ready for horseback riding around the volcano at 8:00 AM. It was difficult to get up, but I was quite excited about seeing molten lava in the volcano that the tour guide on the mainland told me about. I LOVE volcanoes (especially after the Tanna Island experience in Vanuatu where I sat on the rim of the crater of an active volcano and
