A great experience


Escaped from da caves





Today, we went to Gua Tempurung after our class. It was organized by Apple if not mistaken.

Thanks C=

We went there by 3 cars to fit 15 of us.

It was indeed an awesome and great experience!

First of all, we had to walk quite a long distance of staircases. Then, we had to wade through the underground river system. We waded through the water carefully. Everyone was trying to keep themselves dry but this was all in vain.

At the same time we had to crawl through the water, keeping our heads down from one cave to another. We crawled through a few streams where there was very little space further. During our visit, we saw many stalactites and stalagmites but too dissapointed we didn't bring any camera as it will be wet if we bring to.


I stole the pictures from Google as i dun have picture that we took inside the caves:
