We had missed part of our tour on November 9 as rain caused the closure of the Ana Te Pahu lava tube site. The tour operator gave us the option of going back today to make up for it, so we took the opportunity.
There were six of us in total who had missed the lava tubes. Evy and I got lucky because the bus carrying most of the group was full, so we were taken in a car with just our driver.
On the way, the packed bus broke down, just like it had two days earlier when we were on it. Evy and I ended up getting a private tour while the people crammed onto the bus like sardines had to wait for a rescue vehicle.
After the tour, the driver dropped us off at the restaurant we wanted to go to instead of taking us back to the tour agency office. Once we were done eating a late breakfast, I went for ice cream. I don't understand why I'm not losing more weight with all the walking we're doing.
We then went for a meander along the shore until I realized I needed to reapply sunscreen. On the way back to the hotel, we stopped to watch the turtles for a while. The water was so clear it was like looking at them in an aquarium.

| TREE BEHIND US IS 7 METERS TALLER THAN IN THE PHOTO AS THE CAVE ENTRANCE IS DEEP |
