Day 7 - La Fortuna

[squirmelia]

The streets of La Fortuna sound with the yaps of dogs and are lined with tourist excursion offices and bright signs repeatedly advertising the same kinds of adventures, but above the small town looms the magnificient Arenal Volcano.

The first night in La Fortuna, I headed to the foot of the volcano to eat pizza and drink "liquid lava", but it was too cloudy to see the volcano that night. Instead, I saw fireflies, hundreds of fireflies, glittering amongst the grass as if it was the sky and they were stars.

After that, I changed into my bikini and drank cocktails in the hot springs of Baldi. When it began to rain, I headed for the hottest pool I could find and let the refreshing raindrops pitter patter onto my shoulders, as I gazed at the palm trees surrounding me.

It's a shame fireflies don't seem to be present in the UK.. it was great seeing them! I guess there might be some glow worms around at least? UK Glow worm Survey (http://www.galaxypix.com/glowworms/)
