Volcano flight

The airplane flight company had offered us return transfers to the aerodrome for £72 but we worked out we could go by local bus for under £10 for the 3 of us. However it meant we had to meet at 3.45 at the hostel so we couldn't go out too far.

We decided to catch a local bus to Lago Caburgua to sit by the lake and read, have lunch then slowly make our way back. Yet another beautiful place.

Jun was ready and waiting at the hostel so we were good to go. Rodrigo saw us off and said wave when you go over. Martin said he would get the pilot to beep his horn.

The bus journey went well and we got to the airfield by 5 for our 6 o clock flight. The pilot, Victor, finally arrived at 5.57 after an anxious wait. We still haven't adapted to this manana time.  The plane was a 6 seater so the smallest we have ever been in. It was a bit bumpy but I didn't feel nauseous at all. Martin sat next to the pilot and they could communicate to each other on their headsets. Jun and I were linked in to each other. Apparently Martin was warned by Victor that an alarm would sound at one point. When it went off Jun and I were a little worried until Martin turned round and mouthed it's ok. The views were just stunning and the whole experience well worth the money. The landing was very bumpy because of strong crosswinds.
