Gua Tempurung

2008.08.24
A perfect road leads right up to the foot of the hill, and the garden outside was (surprisingly) rather well-maintained.

A rather unassuming entrance to the grandest caves in the Peninsula. But perhaps that's for the best, considering the damage too many tourists might inflict on the place.

This dude is early - Halloween isn't for another two months.


One really gets to exercise one's imagination in places like this.


I used to get pretty nervous in caves. I'm not really claustrophobic, but what would happen if I slipped and fell into the deep, dark crevices below? Or if a stalactite chose the very moment I was walking under it to detach itself from the roof of the cave? Or, worse, if the entire limestone structure chose that hour to crumble??

But I've grown up. I know these things would not realistically happen, and even if they could - let's just say I've learned a little bit about statistics and its stories since the last time I was in a cave this daunting. Dauntingly magnificent.

But when all is said and done...accidents do happen, don't they?
