Wai (water) + Tomo (entrance) = "where water enters the earth"
Starting with a 27m abseil... not bad.
The cave we've visited (there are many in the area) is slowly going down to 100m below the ground.
The new cavemen going to discover Black Water Rafting!
It's the best way to visit a cave: slow paced (you have to paddle sometimes) and without the headlights you admire thousands glow worms on the ceiling.
Let's say I was playing spiderman in a tight and wet hole...
You can see some green dots on this picture... without our lights it looks like a cloudless night sky.
A closer view on a glow worm shows its "catching lines" and the green light (emitted by oxygenated poo) is there to attract flies and mosquitoes. The brighter it is glowing the more hungry it is.
It's dark cold wet and you wear a stupid outfit but that's fun!
