Caving experience

I can now put caving on my list of things I've done (I don’t actually have a list by the way, but I could start one I suppose). Just got back and it was very cool.

First off the instructor man kept confusing me at the beginning. At first I swear he said we had to take off our pants. I was assuming he wasn’t chatting in American language and literally meant underwear so I was thinking ‘what?!’ but luckily it turned out we didn’t have to take off our underwear just our trousers and we had to put on these inner suits and then another suit on top of that, not forgetting the helmet, belt and attractive wellies! It was typical, me and Nami were the only girls there (apart from the lady instructor) and we both got the crappy old suits and the boys got ones that looked brand new! To make things worse mine had two holes in the outer suit, so when I was in the cave even more water was coming through!

I realised that I was fortunate when it came to caving because I’m a tiny person so I found it easier getting through the tight spaces. We got to points where there were mini rivers running through and I got absolutely soaked! It wasn’t as scary as I thought it would be though, bit of excitement for the day!

Off to Adam’s BBQ in a bit so will probably see most of you there!
