Arenal Volcano (Sort of)

We continued our circuit of the lake and drove to the foot of the Arenal Volcano.  There were low clouds around the top of it and since it hasn’t erupted for the last 18 months there wasn’t much to see.

Instead we decided to treat ourselves by going to one of the natural hot spring resorts in the area. We decided to go to Baldi which has over 20 different hot pools as well as wet bars and water slides. We spent most of day there going in and out of the different pools and going on the slides. Water slides over here are different to the ones I’ve been on back home and seem to be much faster and more thrilling. I suppose health and safety isn’t a factor.

For the evening we camped by a river with a view of the Arenal Volcano (well the clouds anyway).
