There were deep holes, big halls, galleries, bats, dust, beautiful crystals on our way. But it was worth it. It’s really hard to describe my first impressions of the cave and impossible to put the beauty of the cave into words. It’s impossible to take a photo that does the cave justice, you need to see the cave in person to realize just how beautiful it is. In candle light the crystals are as colorful as a rainbow, I felt like I was seeing a sunrise on Mars. When I got out of the cave I was absolutely exhausted but It was such an amazing experience I know I’ll be back”.
