Floreana

We started off the day by walking to the lava tubes. My what an experience. We climbed down steep stairs into a narrow tube which quickly opened up into a huge cavern. Glad we had our torches as it was pitch black.

After playing the old (childish) game of ghouls we stumbled down another passage which led right down to the sea! Amazing. No wonder no one found the pirates. (Could also be that these islands are so amazingly remote.

Loved the post office - a wooden barrel originally where whalers from US & England left their mail to be picked up by other sailors returning home.

Still works today.... we left 3 postcards and picked up 3. Caleb got his not sure about anyone else. We will drop ours off in Barcelona, London & Manchester!
