After arriving at the Mt. Pinatubo crater, we ate a quick meal and headed down to the lake for boating and swimming. Gus' brother Dong, sister Grace and our niece Jacki were in our boat.
The water was a beautiful blue. Because of the mineral quality of the water, it has no fish or plant life. It had an added bonus of making your skin feel soft and smooth!
The other boat
The guides took us to the other side of the lake. Mt. Pinatubo is still a semi-active volcano and though the water is nice and cool, the sand is burning hot. You have to wear sandals to avoid burning your feet and some spots are hot enough to feel through your shoes.
This was the first night that both Gus and I have ever spent away from our kids!
Here is the whole boating group. Some of the others opted to stay back and recover from the hike.
