We had an awesome tour of the masaya volcano yesterday which included a tour of a lava cave, a look inside the craters that have sulfer dioxide smoke consistently coming out. The wind always blows one way so that it's easy to see without inhaling the gases or they provide gas masks to help filter the smoke . In the lava cave, our tour guide gave us an up-close look at some bats, I Should do work for discovery channel, my photo skills and video skills are ridic .
At the end of the tour it's dark enough that when you look into the crater at Masaya you can actually see lava .
We got to the point where you can look on and all of the sulfur dioxide gases started comin in our direction and we all couldn't breath and covering out mouths with our shirts. We only had time for a quick few seconds to see the lava bc the gasses were too intense. We felt a little headache after but we are all fine now. Except I am starting to feel a little sick today like a bug, I need Pepto , it wouldn't be a overseas trip without this experience obv.
Last night we tried goin out after dinner I wasn't feeling so hot after so that's when the Pepto comes in. We went out anyway and we found a karaoke bar with all locals .
I had to sing BesaMe Mucho for novelty sake but they immediately switched it up to the English version after they realized I don't know the full tune without background music.
Today we are doin a tour of the small islands around Grenada where we will be interacting with monkeys and touring some local villages.
Monkey see monkey do.
