'We're going to Iguacu cu cu, how about you, you you?'

I hardly need any words today as the pictures tell it all.

This morning we enjoyed a rally outing to the falls, all arranged by the organisers. What a morning we had! Through rainforest, by a variety of different transport and onto the highlight; a trip on a speed boat through the rapids and then UNDERNEATH the falls!

We all knew that we were going to get very wet and so had left all our things at the hotel. Getting wet sounded rather good as it was so steamily hot. All except Paddy 'wussbag' Walker who, for some strange reason, did what all the Japanese tourists were doing and wrapped himself in plastic. Just the thing for the tropics!

It was FABULOUS!

Back to reality this afternoon and fixing of cars. We have just had the delightful news that 200 kms in tomorrow the road is going to be closed and if we are not here by 10am we will have to drive an extra 270 kms. A very, very early start beckons we have 65 (really) speed bumps before the road closure and so average speed will be low.

However, after such a fab 'rest' day today we will be feeling fresher. Two nights in the same place is a luxury as well as a chance for everyone to do some much needed laundry. The should be paying the laundry staff extra with all the fetid stuff they have had to deal with today.

So it is 'onwards and upwards' (quite literally) for we rallyists tomorrow. Please, please just let us get to the road closure before 10 tomorrow. Car #7 deserves a break!

A volcano and some frogs.

Adcap I visited Costa Rica in 1996 when we spent three weeks driving all over and I absolutely loved it. This time, we spent hardly any time in the country, just a quick wiz through but with a great day off near La Fortuna, home of Arenal volcano and a wonder of the world. According to me, anyway.   In 1996, the volcano was going through an active phase and, during the day, there were multiple eruptions of volcanic ash.  It was at night though that we really struck lucky. We were staying at the Observatory Lodge, just a bit over a mile from the volcano and in an elevated position, so the view was astounding.  I was awakened by the bed shaking, I woke the kids up and we rushed outside to see the show. What a sight! Molten lava was exploding out of the top and running in rivulets down the side. It was one of the most exciting spectacles of my life.  Alas, this time it was not to be as it has been in a quiet phase si...

L We had a very easy day today.  There was not much rally stuff to do, except collecting the cars and reviving old friendships and making some new ones. Adrian and I set off for Scotts Market in the morning -  we were on a mission.  Adrian thinks he left his Tilley hat in a restaurant in Siem Reap, it has disappeared anyway.  Trying to buy a hat for such a large head in a land of small people is not easy.  He found a rather natty bamboo solar topee look alike in the market in super giant size though so the top of his head is saved.  The market was very orderly and clean, as is everywhere here, and was stuff to the gunnels with everything you could possibly need in life. Next door to the market is a magnificent Anglican Cathedral.  It is in surprisingly good condition inside and is set in beautifully tended gardens.  We talked to the Vicar who told us that there was not too big a congregation but, at least now, anyone can worship freely, unlike dur...
