Lanzarote 2011 Day Six - Cave Men (and women)

The entrance to the underworld

Ray squeezes through the rock fall

Miechelle dreams of flying by
Mirador gets the thumbs up from Loz

A wet and windy start to the day saw us have a welcome lie in (except the runners) and relaxed morning. With the forecast to brighten up but stay windy we opted for a day of site seeing and adventure.

Firstly we headed to the "Green Caves" where Michel, Ray and Loz took the guided tour in to what is quite spectacular cave and always worth a look if you have not been there before. Lunch followed and then it was off to the "other" cave. With three headlights between us we were pretty well equiped and spent a fun hour and a half working our way through the cave to all emerge safe and sound at the far end and a little hotter. Has to be said Ray did not have quite the right footwear and Loz still suffering from a chaffed thigh due to wet running shorts walked more like a caveman than the rest of us.

With the sun out and visibility good we moved onto Mirador Cafe to take in the amazing views and sample the coffee, very nice and always impressive. Michel expressed his normal dreams of one day flying by the window as he completes the first half of the famara ridge run, hmmmm.

The scenic route back through Haria rounded off the day and a meal out saved cooking, nice.

Forecast still not good for tomorrow..........
