Day 3
Today has probably been our best day so far (despite the 7am start!).
Back into the sardine tin (Relight my fire!) we began our 2 hour journey to Poas Volcano, brimming with anticipation at the prospect of the spectacular views of the volcano crater and lagoon we would find at the top.
Alas! It was not to be. The rain didn´t disappoint (Jenni´s knickers will surely make a reapperance hanging in the window tonight) and it seems some waterproof coats are not as waterproof as we might have thought *Sophie*.
Trudging our way through the relentless rain, we were overcome by the smell of rotten eggs (no, it wasn´t just Sarah - it was sulphur from the volcano). We arrived at the viewing point to be greeted by a dramatic view of... Clouds! No crater... No lagoon. Just clouds. Having said that, Sophie can still tick ´being on a volcano´ off her bucket list!
Unlike the view, our spirits remained unclouded as we made our way to Peace Lodge La Paz Waterfall and Gardens. We were lucky enough to be allowed to hold toucans, butterflies and even a snake, as well as feed the hummingbirds. After seeing some jungle cats and visiting the frog house, we made our way through the rainforest and discovered some amazing views!
We´ve had a fab day today and have returned to our hostel with slightly sore throats from all the singing (apologies to our driver, who has probably gone home with ringing ears) and much fuller memory cards on our cameras!
¡Hasta luego!

I'm glad to see that Sarah is sharing her sulphur elsewhere besides back home.... hopefully it will all be gone by the time she returns...
