Leaving the cave
We crawled back out of the cave and down to the ocean to go snorkeling.

In the map above, near the southeastern tip of the main island, you’ll see what almost looks like a little island itself sticking out. That’s where this video was shot. It’s a very nice area and the drive there is very relaxing and mostly outdoors with little development. We parked at the top of the cliff and followed an old path down to the shore. There are wild goats that live in the rocks which is quite nice. We found an old man-made cave/bunker that the Japanese used in war time. There were bats and these strange glossy cricket looking bugs everywhere. After exploring the cave we went snorkeling. The water is still around 80 degrees, so it’s really pleasing. I’m going to be sad when it starts to get colder as the winter approaches.
