Morning blossoms on the Tongariro Crossing
We were excited about tackling the Tongariro Crossing in New Zealand. It is dubbed the Best 1-day Hike in the World and we wanted to see if it lived up to its reputation.
Gunung Rinjani Volcano, Lombok, Indonesia: Snapshot Sunday
It was about 5am in the morning and we had been climbing for several hours in the dark. We were on our way up the side of Gunung Batur, one of Bali’s active volcanos, when the sun peaked over the horizon to give us this stunning sunrise view of Gunung Rinjani on the island of Lombok.
Mount Liamuiga, St. Kitts’ Volcano Hike
We expected a walk in the park. After all, who would have thought that there was an amazing adventure awaiting us on the tiny island nation of St. Kitts. SStanding 1166 metres (3792 feet) high, this dormant volcano is an excellent hike through the jungle.It wasn’t only an educational hike, it was a rigorous climb. Mount Liaguima is a steep trail through the jungle where we climb over roots, fallen logs, giant boulders and slippery trails. It is a true and authentic rainforest hike. The trails are narrow and unkept and the jungle surrounds you every step of the way.
Climbing Gunung Batur, Bali’s Volcano
We had come to Bali for many things however and climbing a volcano was one of them, so I wasn’t about to admit that I was chickening out. As it turns out, Gunung Batur is not a frightening lava flowing volcano at all. Yes, it is an active volcano, but you won’t see any lava fields flowing by as you walk up the trail and you won’t have to worry or fear that you may tumble into molten lava. I really should have done my research before we climbed and I would have known this. Instead I lay awake all night fretting and waiting for our 2:00 am wake up call.
