It was definitely a very hard hike for us, especially me as we weren't used to carry big packs like that but we are so glad that we made it and watching Santiaguito erupting below us the next morning was a totally amazing sight and made all the pain from the day before disappear.<br /><br />I arm sure you are going to enjoy your climb next week and we look forward to reading about it and then it will be our turn to be jealous.
