Day 6: Hot springs, waterfalls and some more science

DAY 6!

What's up y'all! It's the princess of Hungary and Benny Boy. So today we woke up at 5am, breakfast was at 6am, we had an omelette and rice and beans. At 6:30am we got on a bus and took an hour and a half bus ride to Parque Rincon de la Vieja. Where we took a long hike through wet and dry forests to get to some hot springs. We hiked for 3 km and then finally got to the hot springs. Which smelled of eggs (pretty bad eggs). The sulfur mud made a great face and body mask. We stayed there for about an hour and then continued hiking. We walked for another 15 minutes and got to a waterfall. We decided to swim under the waterfall, which was absolutely freezing but so refreshing. We swam for about 30 minutes and started our way back to the bus. Once we got back we got sandwiches. We hadn't eaten in 7 hours and we were starving. Everybody ate so much, Benny had 4 sandwiches. After, we got back on the bus and drove back to Finca la Anita. We got back, showered because we all smelled of eggs and went straight to class. Today our group finished out experiments and collected data. At 6pm we ate dinner, which was really good, as always. And now we're writing the blog. So we're signing off here, hoping to get at least 8 hours of sleep to prepare ourselves for the full day of science tomorrow.

Hasta la vista,
Kinga & Benny
