Another of Volcan San Pedro

This was taken on the walk between Santa Cruz and San Marcus (3 hours of spectacular lake and volcano views).

Me and San Pedro

Taken by Aussie Steve ever teh one for artistic shots.

Cooling off

Swimming in the lake after a 3hr treck in the scorching sun. With Steve, Jane and Jan. An awesome feeling so fresh and surround by volcanoes.

The jetty

Waiting for a boat at San Marcus. Similar to Luton bus station!
