On my first full day, I decided to make the journey to Volcanoes National Park. I was amazed by the varied landscapes and stark cliffs and craters. I'm very glad I made the trip.

This is fascinating ! Wow, to be so close to "earth", I mean lava and even to touch molten lave, or at least get close :-)
