After checking in at our hostel we went caving! I chose an epic 5 hour cave which involveed caving and zip wiring and absailing and the like. We got kitted up into some incredibly stinky wet suits and the headed to the caves. We had to absailed into the cave down a 35m hole with a very narrow part. This was fine except my harness was so uncomfortable I just wanted it to be over as soon as possible! We then did a zip wire or as they call it a flying fox I. The dark! It was in the dark as the caves are famous for having glow worms so they shone amazingly in the dark. The zip wire was cool, if a bit short. The caves were full if these glow worms with their strands of sticky food catching web hanging from them and loads of stalactites. We found out that the glow worms are actually fly larvae l, and so really just maggots with bioluminescent poo. Nice! We then jumped into the water with rubber rings and paddled out way through the caves along the water and under the glow worms. It was amazing and so pretty. I was nowhere near as scared as I thought I'd be! After paddling to the source of the cave we headed back and did some caving up water falls and through the water. We saw a big eel too. It was a cool day, but so exhausting! Looking forward as to my 8:39 start tomorrow to get a slight lie in!
