On the way from the bus stop to the caves, we passed this house which quite literally had a roof garden.
|
15:07:18
A quick view of the misty forest covered mountains - it was a bit Chinese looking round here.
|
15:15:53
The entrance to the caves - I liked to imagine this a bit like the gateway to Minas Tirith in Lord of the Rings. :)

Chie demonstrating how, even at the entrance, it was a bit cold.
|
15:17:59
Inside the caves. Utterly typical of me - I got rather over excited at the start and took lots of less-than-exciting pictures in a short succession.
|
15:18:14
...so we have a lot of pictures of Chie just walking down the tunnels...
|
|
|
|
|
|
15:19:40
...and then I started to get the low battery warning indicator!
|
15:19:53
So yet more of the same.
|
15:21:05
Could do with a few goblins to spruce things up a bit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
15:24:41
Sort of a crossroads in the tunnel network here.
|
15:25:00
More of the same...
|
15:25:31
....right so here is the big central cavern. Not sure if the pictures really do it justice, but it was quite impressive at the time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
15:26:52
Lots of little cairns - I think this might be a Shinto/Buddhist thing.
|
15:27:33
Chie from an unusual angle.
|
15:27:58
Me in the big cavern - a bit blurred.
|
|
|
|
|
|
15:28:44
Lots of steps everywhere.
|
15:29:06
Chie re-adjusting her hat. We were getting dripped on a lot.
|
15:30:46
One of the smaller caves leading off the large central cavern with a little shrine in it. Not sure if you can see that well in the picture, but the cave wall was covered with coins - they'd been stuck to the rock face just by the dripping lime.

One last shot of the main cavern before the batteries ran out!
