Set off in the morning by boat to bat cave. Walked through the jungle for 2 hours to the cave, picking the leeches off our legs as we went. The cave is stunning and the ceiling is covered with thousands of bats that feed of the crickets on the floor. We also saw some cool frogs, fish and not so cool giant unspeakable thing.
We went through tunnels and clambered across crevices (with one ok torch and a few rubbish torches between us and no safety equipment plus the possibility of flooding if it rained). We walked through a lot of water varying from knee high to so deep you had to swim!
After about 50 min we made it to the other side in one piece (and the camera – in a dry bag) feeling good but very soggy – our trainers have a lot of drying out to do! Saw a cool monkey from the boat – black and furry with white “sunglasses”.
Chilled out in the afternoon before getting back to dry land – back to our bungalow. Had dinner with the Norwegian guys. Bumped into the German couple we spent new year with – they decided to stay here as we told them about it so that’s cool.
