Volcanic Experience [1]

Was the name of the tour I took a part in on the island of Reunion,wanting to see the Piton de la Fournaise,one of the few active volcanos in the world.Expecting to hear it gurgling,spitting,throwing up lava about and maybe even make me run for my life,as it erupts every year.And in the absence of that hoping it would at least give me a nod,a wink and a smile.So we sat out in a not very comfortable coach at 7.30 in the morning (the seat was too high,my 159 cm barely touching the floor,and it also slanted awkwardly,my shorts rising up).The temperature was 32 C.
