Our landing site, next to a new volcanic cone
We watched the other passengers depart and return on the Zodiacs, and, when our time came, we rode out on a very fast, very comfortable and generally stable Zodiac to visit the island for ourselves. Since both Grandma and I had packed our swimming suits, we had them on and ready for a dip in the hot springs.
Loading the Zodiacs and taking off
When we landed, we were told by Nigel Sitwell who met us on the shore that the tide was high, so the hot springs weren't actually as near to the shore as usual, so it wouldn't be very warm. But, we had already decided to do it.
