First Cave Experience

Gua Tempurung, Gopeng, Perak.

Planned to climb a mountain but somehow ended up in a cave. It was raining that day so our plans to go mountain climbing was hashed and we went to Ipoh breakfast breakfast instead. Such contrast, I know. On the car ride back to KL, I fell asleep but was pleasantly awoken to the news that we were at Gua Tempurung and that we would be exploring the insides of the cave. Although I felt that it was ridiculous to have to pay for tickets to look at nature, it was good to see the stairs in the cave in fairly good condition as we climbed up the hundreds of steps. There was a part of the cave where it was sort of like a hollow tunnel and cool wind blew through it just like air-conditioning. The dark cave was dotted with yellow spotlight so it was not as dark as one thought that a cave should be. Don't even get me started on the natural rays of light shooting in from the spaces of cave. That, topped off with some running/dancing in the drizzle when we got to the foot of the cave, it was a good day. Life should always be like this, expected yet pleasant.
