Arenal Observatory Lodge

Today we ventured up to the Arenal Observatory Lodge to attempt to see the lava flow. Since this is the start of the rainy season and this is the cloud forest, the weather was against us. Instead, we hiked to a waterfall and also a hanging bridge. You could definitely hear the volcano rumbling, gurgling, and setting off rock slides. That was pretty interesting to hear. Arenal looks like a giant science fair project. Perfectly cone shaped and steamed coming out of the top. If it is clear in the morning, we might head up there again before venturing to our next city. When we got back to our hotel we again enjoyed the hot springs before heading off to dinner.
