Today was a half-day tour that started at 10:00 a.m. and ended at 3:30 p.m., with pickup and drop-off at the tourist office.
The tour was supposed to stop at four different sites: two lava tubes and two archaeological sites. The first stop was Cueva de las Dos Ventanas, which was interesting because we have been in many caves before but never in a lava tube.
On the way to the next stop, the van broke down and we had to wait 45 minutes for another vehicle to pick us up. Once we were rescued, we continued on to two more moai sites, which were reasonably interesting.
When the guide tried to take us to the Banana Cave, he was told it was closed because of the rain. The tour company arranged for us and four other people to return on November 11 to see the lava tube we had missed.
On the way back to the hotel that evening, we stopped at a fantastic pastelería and shared another piece of cake.
