We don't like coach trips - more of a photoblog

Neither Scruffbag or myself like coach trips. However the national park route around the volcanoes can only be accessed by coach. This is in order to protect the structure of the lava flows. If we had gone by public transport we would have had to get an expensive taxi from the nearest village and even then we would only have got to see the visitor centre.

The coach trip was well worth it as the drive was spectacular. In this case a picture is worth a thousand words.

In addition to the volcano area, the coach trip also took in a wine tasting - which was actually one small glass of revolting wine. We also had a very decent lunch with jug of same wine (fortunately also jug of water), This was followed by a visit to the green lagoon.

Then the volcanic coast:

Then the saltpans:

All in all a great day out with bad wine.
