We had no option with our schedule but to take the sunset trip and I´m glad we did. The bus was one of the chicken buses and the driver was carrying a pump-action shotgun. Strange! No don´t worry he stopped to pick someone else up who also had a pump-action shotgun and he was riding shotgun, of course.

I´ve never had the opportunity to see an active volcano before and wow, what an experience. So far on this trip we´ve seen what the Mayan civilazation has left the world but compared to what mother nature has produced, it´s nothing. When you get near to the lava there´s a wall of heat and the air above the lava shimmers like in a heat wave.


The sun was going down and the driver started shouting. ¡Vamonos! One girl asked for a picture with the driver he abliged and then pumped the gun to get a cartridge into the chamber and then fired a shot I wasn´t expecting that. But it does feel a bit lawless over here.
