Day 8 - Mud Volcano and Chiva Bus

Today started out with a early morning bus ride to the mud volcano. All along the planning process I have wanted to go to this mud volcano that our friends have raved about when they visited Categena. The bus driver pulls up to what look likes a huge ant hill and you climb these steep stairs to get to the top of the hill where you find a pool size pit of mud filled with people who one were a normal skin color and now they are grey/brown. We al waited in line for our turn to dip ourselves into the mud pit to experience the healing powers of the mud for ourselves. According to our guide we are supposed to look 10 years younger by the time we get out. We all hung out in the mud together and then walked down to lagoon to rinse off. After we were all fresh and clean again we took the bus to a beach for lunch and some more fun in the sun. After our excursion for the day we went back to our hotels and got ready for our last night in Cartegena. As Anderson students we couldn't leave this country without checking out the one and only Chiva bus = party bus.

Mud pictures to come!

Guest blogger Krishna is going to updates us all on the Chiva bus and one correction from our last blog I mixed up the last two islands. Playa Blanca was were we had lunch and Isle de Rosario was the beautiful white sand beach we stopped at mid way on our trip.
