Postponed Volcano Trip

Hello All,
We were already to go see the volcano this after noon but our truck never showed up to take us there. The weather has been rainy and the truck on his way back from town got caught behind a flash flood so he had to wait for the river to come down before he could cross. Rafal assumed everything was on schedule and he wanted to walk the 4 miles to the entrance. He had already left when we figured out the truck wasn't coming so he had his own adventure to the volcano and he managed to make it up to see it. Mean while Paula and I waited for him to return for hours. We finally started walking up the road to look for him in the dark and he finally showed up in the truck that was suppose to take us up there, so we jumped in and the driver gave us a ride back to the village. Rafal said the volcano is awesome and said it is a must see for sure.
We have arranged for a truck to take all of us there tomorrow so I hope the weather is a little better. We will go with a Swiss couple that we met on the return trip from Lenakel yesterday. They are here on holiday and after visiting with them for a while it seems they had toured Alaska in a motor home a few years back so we had lots to talk about.
The wind has shifted to the North East and is very light so we may have to spend a few more days here to see if the weather improves.
I will let you know what happens and I hope we can get up to the volcano tomorrow.

PEACE
