    Really, it was just the experience of being in a country so long associsated with violence and crime, and seeing it beginning to take tentative steps towards normality. The people were friendly everywhere we went, and our guide - Dio - was fantastic. The site where we glamped and then climbed the volcano was so beautiful - especially at night with the setting sun.

    The turtle intiative was a delight and having guessed the weight of a green turtle I got to name the turtle upon it's release. there is now a turtle called Annie, after my wife, swimming around the mangroves in El Salvadore. The walk upthe volcane although hard was well worth it but would have been even better had it not been done at the weekend. The Hotel El Tejado with it's magnificent views from the restaraunt and fromm the balcony of ou room. Meeting the ex guerrilla fighter who was extremely interesting to listen to.
