Mabinay caves

My sister spent almost 3 weeks in a vacation, so unfair! I bet she had another wonderful time again. This time, they went to Mabinay caves. Well, Mabinay is located in the interior part of Negros Oriental, Philippines. My brother lives in Dumaguete, 86 kilometers, (almost 2 hours ride) from Mabinay. Along with the gang, they went there exploring the caves. Mabinay has 400 caves actually, only 8 are opened for the public. The tour is divided in 3 categories, beginners, advanced, and extreme. Beginners as they are, they went exploring 3 caves. According to my sissy, it was a long, tiring, yet exciting 3-hour tour. The best for her was the second cave which was extremely dark, slippery, and muddy! If it wasn't for the flashlights, they wouldn't be able to see each other and be lost in the dark. That's very thrilling I bet. But if you want to see the the beautiful stalagmites and stalactites formations, with all the glittering crystals, the 3rd cave is the one. On summer they're looking forward to go there again and try the 'advanced.' A whole day tour that that takes visitors to even more exciting caves that leads to an underground river. Whoaa! That's so cool!

Here are some of their pictures...

nice cave...i remember i went to a cave 2 or 3 years ago. it was really fun as water almost touched the "ceiling". with my camera on two hands, i still captured images while i kept on paddling my feet just to protect my cam. i came there for the reason to find gems...it wasnt that successful because it was raining and flood may come towards the pitch-black dark cave. it was a great experience.
