This is almost a vacation, compared to the
usual expeditions I throw myself into. However, while most others spend all their time at the beach and
bars, I will mainly spend it in the wild. That said, there are quite some sights I
will be driving around to see, scattered around this giant volcano. As I have
the time and a car, I just swing it, and I guess I will be seeing most of the
roads on the island.
