Mt. Batur

On Edward's birthday we hiked up a volcano!  The name of the mountain was Mt. Batur.  We climbed all the way up to the top and all the way down again.  Edward got carried for most of the time but Daniel and I walked the whole entire way up.  The hiking was hard, especially because it was very steep.  We were stepping on volcanic rocks which were very crumbly and sharp.  



Here is a picture of us at the tippy top of the volcano.  It was a little cold up there and it started to rain.  We could see steam coming out of holes in the ground at the top.  At the top of the mountain we ate our snacks of Bali bananas and croissants.

That was the first volcano I've ever climbed up!

    Wow! what an exciting hike. Was the steam hot that was coming out of the ground at the top? That must have been a great hike. I can't wait to show the class all your blog posts tomorrow in class.

    Uncle Dave,
    I think that the 14er was harder than the volcano because the 14er was steeper. Evie

    Mr Whitley,
    we did not get close to the steam, but I am sure it is hot because if you hike up before breakfast the guides will cook eggs over the steam. Evelyn

    Hi Alexa,
    I really wish you could have been at the reptile park with us.
    Your Friend Evelyn
