Ngilgi Cave

After an already exciting morning filled with lighthouses, whales and beaches, we decided to head underground take a tour through Ngilgi Cave.  WOW!  It was amazing!!!  We wandered through tiny tunnels, deep down under the earth and here is what we saw....

The pictures really can't do justice to how incredible this cave was...

There were THOUSANDS of limestone stalactites!

Yikes!  What if they fell?!  

I tried not to think about that OR feeling claustrophobic as we walked through these narrow cave walls!
 
The guide told us that it takes 100 years for a stalactite to grow just ONE centimeter.  Imagine how long these have been growing for!!!


Silly mustache man!

I felt like a true explorer!!



It was quite a workout walking around through there!

Could it be???  TyTy actually being serious and learning??  No way!
 
Tyson, Noha and Hammam ready to be done with the stairs and steps in the cave!

You two should start a TV show that would rival "Dora the Explorer". With of course some cool mustache dance moves from Tyson. On second thought, kids might turn off that kind of stuff and go back to playing outside like their grandkids did before cool things like video games, etc...the thing I learned from all of this is that Cave are "Cool" (both in an awesome sense and the fact that they are cool due to being underground).
