Erupting Volan Fuego!
Just reporting another first for me. Two nights ago I heard the strangest noise in the middle of the night. It was a cross between heavy snoring, rumbling thunder and a motorbike. I got up to go outside and listen closer and realised it was 'el volcan Fuego' erupting. I looked up and saw the top of the volcano glowing a beautiful red against the star lit sky and puffing out smoke and lava. It's a safe distance away from Antigua and the lava flows down the opposite side. It was so exciting as I've never been near volacnoes before, let alone see an active one waking up. Yesterday it smoked all day but there were no more eruptions last night so it may have gone back to sleep again now. Apparently it's quite a common thing here but an amazing site all the same.
P.S. I hear that there's quite a bit of snow in the UK. No chance of that here as it's unusually hot here today and is a pleasant 28 degrees.
