... grow rapidly. Also came across many old lava flows. We then went back on the bus and climbed up to 1900 metres before getting on a cable car that took us to 2600 metres. We then set off on a steep climb to the summit (3350 metres) but time and aching limbs left us a few hundred metres short. The volcano is still active and you can see smoke coming out of the crater. Last eruption was in March this year. It ...
