Piton de la Fournaise

Very heavy rain made ​​our trip far more difficult than expected. But I still believe rain is much better than the sunshine. On the way is neither a tree nor a shadow. 4.1 km one way, well-marked trail. However, path can be easy lost during the heavy fog. The first hundred meters of steep trail going almost vertically down through crater caldera. Latter, path goes few kilometers  through the 'flat' lava fields . And then a few hundred meters up, to the edge of the crater Furnaice. Very beautiful scenery, however, we had only a few short moments to see it.  All other times we were surrounded by a thick fog. We have been waiting for good weather for a few days and finally decided to hike to the top  anyway
