After lunch we went to the other side of the caldera.

This side of the caldera was more of a rain forest.

The Fig Tree Arch was formed by the parasitic wild fig. The seeds of the fig were dropped into a fork of a host tree by birds or monkeys. The seeds grow and the fig sends down roots and they slowly strangle the host tree which dies and eventually rots away leaving a hollow. In this case 2 host trees must have stood either side of the road before being smothered by the fig tree, which is now standing.

The Fig Trees are huge. This one is large enough to drive a car through.

While we were out of the car, we took a lot of pictures.

Njano took pictures of us with our cameras too.
