The caves

Well, it’s been busy!

Mainly because I have been helping out with the launch my parent site, which is exciting cause I know they have a tonne of cool ideas, they just don’t have to people to make it happen over night, but it will get there, I will be helping them where I can (although I think I will need to do a little more traveling first!!).

Anyway, back to it…

right, so after spending sometime in Bled we decided it was time to head out for Venice.  However, along the way we stopped into the famous caves.  We got there nice and early (a little too early, but we had time to relax and be first to get our ticket).  We caught a cute little train that took us deeper into the cave and after  a little time of ohhhing and ahhhing on the way down we got out and was able to walk around while our guide was giving us the facts.  Here are a couple of photos of me in the caves:

a little blurry, this camera wasn’t the best for photos at night I have found out.

It was quite cool down there (in both the temperature and good factor).  Since I am on the topic of caves, while this one was lit up nicely, what is with the coloured lights in caves?  Is it to bring out certain colours in the rocks?Or is it purely for entertainment purposes?  I have always wanted to know that (well, always as in the last couple of hours at least – hehe)

So after walking around the caves, thinking about the millions of years it took to create the stalactites and how it would be typical for me to fall and knock one down (however I didn’t, probably because I am not tall enough) it was time to go.

At the end we were told to wait at a station for the little train to take use back up…..and I am serious, they really have a station in the cave, complete with a little yellow line (which I am naughty and am in front of)!

Toot toot!

Next stop was Venice, since Italy isn’t the cheapest place in the world we were told they have pretty good camp sites with cabins that are reasonably priced, so we found one that is right next to a ferry stop that will take us in.

Byeeeee
