An adventure we will go! Alas not as many people turned up, It was 15 people but as usual some people can't make it at the very last minute. It was cut down to 9 people.
The trip took around 1 1/2 hours from Penang. The trip started early at 6am, where we all met up at and waited for the late comers. Be on time people. 3 cars transported all the 9 adventurers. We then headed out to have breakfast at a nearby store. Eggs and Toast was on the main menu.
7:10am
We managed to finish up fast and start our journey. Kept to the speed limit most of the time. We arrived in no time.
9:30am
Everyone is ready and can't want to start the adventure into the cave. Paid our entrance fees and joined another group of people. Total number of people under 1 guide = 21. Estimate time of finishing the whole course was about 3 1/2 hours.
10:30am
By this time we were quite deep in the cave. It was pitch black, only our flashlights shined the way. Everyone was helpful to each other. Helping each other getting down or climbing the rocky path.
11:30am
We are now hip knee deep in stream water. Cold but soothing water after a hot sweaty crawl & climb inside the cave. We made it to one part of the cave with an opening. Everyone took a short breather before moving on again. Now I didn't really have a good time walking on rocks, unfortunately my shoes broke apart slowly, first the grippy sole then the inner sole. Both sides! But I had a lovely cutie helping me out. ;)
12:30pm
After the breather we headed deeper into the cave. This part was all water. We had to lie on our backs and thread slowly, we also had to go under some waterfalls!
1:00pm
We completed the journey and survived! It was quite an adventure and a good work out too. All the crawling, climbing, sliding and swimming was quite refreshing. We all headed to the showers and got ourselves cleaned.
1:30pm
Made a move and headed to Ipoh to have lunch. We had local Ipoh food with White Coffee, where it was made popular. We also took a detour to a small biscut shop to buy the very very popular "Heong Pia". I dunno if I got the spelling right. LoL.
3:30pm
Everyone decided to head home.
An end to a successful journey planned by Me and Brian. Well at least we did something. Cheers to everyone who made it.
