Went for a walk up the road to the 'Pancake rocks' a high tide was due so the blow holes in them was going to be going we stood around for a while and as the tide reached high it was forcing the sea in the maze like formation of rocks and it would shoot out into the sky from the rocks very impressive.

Louise also managed to spot some dolphins swimming about we ended up seeing quite a few of them.

We then walked back toward the hostel and went into an underground cavern because we was prepared with touches & headlamps this time.

We walked as far in as we could there were small waterfalls & glow worms in there.

Then went for a nice walk along the beach and when getting to a river mouth followed it in through the rainforest until it started to get dark & we had to head back.

We also decided today that we want to spend another night here before we make our way to work on the farm for 6 weeks.

So we went and haggled with the manager who let us stay another night for £12 bargain.
