Fun at Sliding Rock




I’ll be heading off to Ta’u then to Ofu Island tomorrow at noon. After turning in my rental car in the morning I’ll walk over to the airport and pay for the flight. Inter-island travel is a little odd. Since the airport never really knows when the planes will be running correctly they just have you reserve a flight, then they call the day before to tell you it’s all good to show up and roll out. I ve taken a boat, the M/V Sili, over to Ofu but I really wanted to see the Islands from the air during the daytime.

Today I went to Sliding Rock, it’s a favorite spot of mine to pass the time, watch some waves and go for a swim in the rock pools. There are also a few cool archaeological things to check out while swimming around. Today’s blog will be short, nothing much to report. I’ll make sure to take plenty of pictures from Ofu and Ta’u.




Here's the spot I like



Six post holes pecked into the basalt flow



The water in the swimming hole is overflow from the blowhole
