We arrived around lunch time and headed to the Blue Lake. I thought we had missed the 1200 tour but had forgotten to change my watch to SA time. The tour included a trip in a glass fronted elevator down a couple of hundred meters of shaft to the lake side. Check out the hill behind the pump house-I had to walk down and up again afterwards. I made it - I was last but I made it!
Although the lake wasn't "blue" it is still pretty awesome. In the first photo you can see the three layers of the crater quite clearly -
1 limestone
2 basalt rock
3 volcanic ash
The colour of the second photo is accurate it was really quite a pretty blue colour
And this one because I love it is of a rock under the water near the pump station
Off to the sink hole in the morning then on to Beachport and Robe. Yay ocean views at last.
