Tubing & Geocaching

Tuesday was another day without any scheduled activities.  We started the morning late after having slept in.  I wish I could say these beds were as great as ours at home, but unfortunately it’s not even close.  After breakfast I walked with Pete and Laurie to find out information on renting bikes.  We are thinking we would like to bike to the nearby dormant volcano, Hooisberg.  The walk took us down the beach to to the end of all the hotels.  We found for $25/day they would drop the bikes off at our hotel. After Tom’s and my last bike experience in the Bahamas (where we used some free hotel bikes, and Tom’s bike tire was mostly flat and then the chain came off) he is a little leery of trying bikes again. We saw some bikes parked outside the trailer in which they were operating and asked if those were the bikes.  Thankfully she said no, and said they keep theirs stored in their facility to protect them from the sand and salt water.  We liked the sound of that already.  With no commitments made, we headed back to the resort.

As we came back upon our beach we saw Vince, Alissa, and Ryan with Uncle Tommy getting ready to go on their tubing ride.  Tom strapped our GoPro to Vince and off they went for their 20 minute ride while Uncle Tommy rode along in the boat to take pictures.  We watched from the shore and saw the kids getting whipped around and flying out a couple of times.  When they got back they said it was awesome!!  We weren’t sure if the GoPro was on and recording, so we waited until we got back to the room much later in the evening to see the results.  I was happy to see that it recorded the beginning 6 minutes of the ride.  So fun to listen to the kids screaming and laughing.  The GoPro must have got bumped along the way because it did stop recording and took some pictures too.  The pictures didn’t turn out as great, but happy to have the video.
