Adventure land

Next stop - Pucon, in the Lake District. Like all good adventure tourist towns there was a nearby snowcapped volcano to climb, horse riding, hiking trips in the surrounding countryside, and a series of thermal springs in which to relax afterwards. When all the climbing, hiking, riding, and soaking was done, the town offered the usual abundance of restaurants to cater to the tourist market.

We never did climb the volcano in the end (bad weather blocked our 3 attempts), but we did go white water rafting. In winter. Despite a small flurry of hail at the outset, it was really good fun. Especially the bit where we got to watch the other boatload end up in the water.


This is our group in our very funky streetwear. There are wetsuits under it all.


Our team in action.
