Once down a steep set of steps we entered the caves. Our guide was brilliant. He had an extensive knowledge of the history and extent of the caves. The tour took us through a number of cave areas that were well lit. Looking at the stalactite and stalagmite formations in U-V light was fascinating.

I could have watched it again and again.
