Part 42: NICARAGUA
Vanzilla 2.0 was flying northwest towards our next destination.
Brittney, Lucy, Haiku, Shannon, Raven, Gwen, Chione and Lincoln were reading books on Dark, Fire, Lightning and Ice Magic.
Lucy: I wonder what our next destination will be.
Brittney: We'll know when we get there.
Lincoln: Our trip is almost over and I have a feeling that it's gonna be so cool.
Chione: I know it will be. We've been really busy these last 123 days. I just joined you all recently.
Lucy: We know. We sure have been busy and I we learned so much from all over the world.
Haiku: We sure have and its all been really fascinating. I just wish my sister Maggie could be here with me.
Lincoln: Hey wasn't Maggie...?
Haiku: Yes Lincoln. Maggie is Luan's best friend and she is as emotionless as me.
Brittney: I know her. Does she know you've been disowned because of your powers?
Haiku: Unfortunately no Brittney. She doesn't.
Brittney: We'll have to tell her when we get back.
Lincoln: I have a strong feeling that she will hate her parents too after everything that went down.
Haiku: I do too Lincoln. But she's my sister and I love her.
Lucy: That's thoughtful Haiku.
Brittney: I would hate my parents too if they disowned my little sisters.
Lincoln: Me too.
Gwen: Same here but I don't have any brothers or sisters.
Nicole: We're here guys. Welcome to Nicaragua.
Me: Nicaragua. It's just as beautiful as I remember it.
Aylene: It's beautiful.
Jessie K: This place is loaded with history and it has some of the most amazing landscapes in the world.
Nicole: And some of the most amazing volcanoes.
Allie: This is gonna be awesome.
Naruto: It sure is.
The first volcano we were at was Mount Masaya.
We had our gas masks on.
Nicole: Here we are guys. This volcano is called Mount Masaya.
Lori: It's literally amazing and you can see into the crater.
Leni: Totes. It's so hot.
Luna: It sure is.
Jessie K: I know this volcano all too well. It's said to be one of the 6 doorways into the Netherworld.
Me: Oh yeah. I saw that in a documentary at one time on the History Channel. It was something.
Jessie K: I remember that dad. See that cross over there?
Jessie pointed to a cross on a tall hill on the volcano.
Me: I sure do. That cross was erected there to keep the demons in the volcano from escaping.
Lori: That is literally something.
Lola: It sure is Lori.
Lana: It's amazing and scary at the same time.
Laney: It sure is. This volcano must have a dark history as well as a dark tie to the Netherworld.
Me: It does Laney.
Next we were at Momotombo Volcano.
Nicole: Momotombo Volcano. One of the most beautiful volcanoes in all of Nicaragua.
Sam: It sure is beautiful.
Luna: It sure is dude.
Lynn: This volcano is amazing. What's that gash down the middle of the volcano?
Nicole: That gash was carved out by pyroclastic flows and avalanches of lava by eruptions over the centuries.
Varie: It's amazing.
Aylene: It sure is. Is it one of Nicaragua's most active volcanoes?
Nicole: It erupts periodically but not all the time.
We then had Vanzilla 2.0 in Yacht mode and we were on Lake Nicaragua. We were at a volcano called Concepción.
Nicole: This volcano is called Concepción. It's another one of the most beautiful volcanoes in the world.
Lola: It sure is beautiful. It's a perfect cone shape.
Lisa: Yes indeed.
Lily: This volcano is amazing. And from the looks of things it's still erupting.
Nicole: Yes. Its activity began in 2015 and it's still going on.
Naruto: It's amazing.
Sakura: It sure is.
Fu: The power of the Earth is an amazing force to be reckoned with.
Me: It sure is. Remember what we saw in Dante's Peak?
Lincoln: How can we not forget. That was an amazing example of the power of the Earth.
Laney: It sure was.
Sakura: And the devastation that all volcanoes can cause to people, towns, cities and villages. It's all awful.
Me: It sure is.
An ash plume erupted out of the volcano and it was an amazing sight.
Me: Whoa!
Hinata: Incredible!
Rin: Unbelievable!
Fu: I'll never forget seeing that volcano erupt in Dante's Peak. That was awful.
Lincoln: It sure was Fu. Luckily no one got killed but the entire town was completely destroyed.
Me: Yeah. It was wiped off the map.
Sakura: it sure was.
Naruto: That was awful. Glad everyone is all right.
Me: Me too.
Laney: Same here. Thank goodness we got everyone out of there.
Lynn Sr.: I saw that in the newspaper and your press conference and that was awful. How strong was the volcano when it erupted?
Me: Level 6 on the Volcanic Explosivity Index. More powerful than Mount Saint Helens.
Rita: That was powerful.
Chione: It sure was. I can't believe that volcanoes pack so much destructive power.
Ben: They're one of natures most powerful forces Chione.
Linka: They sure are.
Riley: It's all incredible.
Nicole: It sure is.
Later we explored all of Nicaragua and learned all sorts of sights in the country.
We then set out for our next destination.
