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.
