Caching

 Coffee on the deck as per usual. Today is Friday and we really don't have too much planned at this point.  That of course, always changes.

 A light breakfast and then everyone split up and went for walks at different times. Some people had low step counts and wanted to fix that today.... myself included.  

Kelly and I wandered around the lagoon and then headed to the point by the golf course. Some spectacular views made it all the more special.

 

Very nice view!

The waves weren't huge but still packed a punch. Here is an action clip below.

 

We ran into Hugh & Simone as they made their way back towards the store. A few grocery items to get... seems like there is always something! Kelly and I decided to grab a couple geocaches in the area. It took us to a beach pathway and off into the old lava flows. Now this lava was a mixture of smooth  "Pa hoe hoe" and the rough "A'a" and this is caused by the presents or absence of gasses in the molten lava. 

Here is a picture of some smoother lava as opposed to the BBQ type we are accustomed too. 

Smooth flows that have cooled decades ago.

Everyone returned to the Villa and we enjoyed a lunch of leftovers etc. 

Another trip over to the snorkeling beach for a cool down swim.  The waves were higher that yesterday and it made it a bit murky to get any decent snorkeling  unfortunately.

I had a little baby gecko climb up my shirt and then my head. It was later released into nature.

Dinner was Ahi Tuna again with Sheila's special glaze. Very good and super easy to cook on the BBQ.

Kelly and Hugh played crib and as I was suffering from a cold, Ijust didn't feel like playing tonight. Tomorrow for sure.
