Off to the National Park for a look at the volcanoes and ride a camel and what an interesting place. It's been 400 years since the eruption and the place still looks so desolate. It looks like desert except that it's black and dark brown sand. The National Park is huge and they take you on a bus tour through the lava flows and past the craters. You end up at a restaurant that cooks meat over one of the vents coming up from the earth so we sat down for a roast chicken lunch. I took my shoe off to feel the floor and it was so warm even though there's a whole floor underneath dedicated to insulating the restaurant from the heat. Then they do a demo of erupting volcanic vents. On the way out we went for a camel ride ....FINALLY...after trying to find one in Morocco. What a hoot. Our camel was huge, mainly because Ray's huge and they had to balance his weight with me and a couple of sandbags. The hilarious moment, apart from the moment when our camel got up from the seated position and I thought I was going to be launched out of my seat, was Sam's camel. I swear it was an adolescent camel for an adolescent boy and you should have heard this camel complain. He moaned and whinged and poor Sam thought he was going to be thrown off. I didn't know whether he was laughing or crying as his camel stood up whinging and whining and turning and looking at him. It was so funny.
