we went caving

a short hike through the wet forest and we were there. the long expected little tour into the "bruderloch" near wenslingen (etwas mehr info hier). a friend of ours was planning this trip a while a go and we postponed it already once. but yesterday afternoon with a group of good friends we got all dressed up for caving...

 

it was great, a bit of a leap for me, i have do admit. the cave was not huge though a short stretch right at the beginning was very low. we had to crawl for about 30 feet and then as it was really real, slip under the last rock and appear into the hall. wonderful and yes adventurous as it can be we went on for an other this time shorter stretch of crawling and having to go slow but the next hall was even bigger.
of course we all wanted a moment of total darkness, so everyone turned off their head lamps. and yes i can assure you, it's dark, very dark inside the earth!

coming out, and enjoying a cup of tea, some zucchini cake (as we swim in the harvest of this plant) we all congratulated to our brave feat of taking the risk, embracing our adventurous spirit and overcoming the fear!
thank you t for taking us unto this little tour, and yes i do think you are courageous to do all those caving trips, sometimes spending hours if not a day under the earth!
