Lake Cave

Lake Cave

We walked to Lake Cave this morning, approximately a 30 minute walk from our campsite, for a tour of the cave.  After a 60 metre walk down on the stairs we were guided around underground for about an hour.  It is not a large cave, but has a couple of large chambers where there are many stalactites and stalagmites.  One pair have formed a column with a base suspended over the “lake” (a shallow pool of water) that reflects the crystalline ceiling of the cave with its many stalactites and straws.

After a stiff climb back up we ate at our motorhome, then in the afternoon David walked down to the ocean.  It was about a five kilometer round trip.  There is a 50 metre high cliff over the beach below.  The road goes a long route more gently down, and he walked down that way, and up the cliff (which was the wrong way around as it was a steep climb back up).

This afternoon we took photographs of our motorhome in preparation for trying to sell it.  Again tonight the campsite is virtually empty, and so it has been very quiet all day.
