This is a picture of Stacey "testing out her tube". There are several waterfalls inside of the cave. We had to learn the proper way to place the tube on your "bum" and jump off backwards. I knew the water would be cold, but it was a little surprising how cold it actually was. Thank goodness for the wet suit.
This is the exit of the cave.
Not a very good picture, but this is Greg and I floating out of the cave together. This was a truly unique experience.
So these little specks are the glow worms. Well they actually aren't glow worms at all - false advertising. We found out that they are actually maggots. These maggots live in the cave and drop spider-web-like strings to catch their food. They have no way to excrete their waste (aka poop) so they actually burn it off and thus the glow. It was really cool (literally) to float through a pitch dark cave and see these glowing all around.
