Out for a Drive

I knew I would be up late again tonight but wanted to check out where the lava had flowed during the last eruption. I've neglected to take photos for you so hopefully before I leave I'll take some. What I can say, however, is that it is unbelievable how much lava flowed down towards the sea. They have rebuilt main roads already and as you drive through the freshly created land you cannot fail to be amazed. In places it must be at least twenty to thirty feet deep, perhaps more.

The main photos in this footprint are of the lava fields created in 1941 and they also cover a large area. After the recent eruption I believe the road must have been redone given it looks so new, plus the area looks like it is covered in black ash. I loved this little drive of discovery and the weather was so nice too.

I realise I haven't let you see the outside of my villa, so the last two photos here reveal all. Villa sounds so much nicer than apartment, don't you think. 😉Lue lisää
