Gua Tempurung
Here in the areas near utp....I would say the attractions ae mostly food or actually maybe if we had more choices they might not be attractions at all. Just little little towns in between bigger towns. Haha. But we do have a few and one of it is Gua Tempurung. The first half of the semester, me, michael(roomy), jenny and Chua went.
We did no have much time so we went for the easy and exciting trail, the golden flowstone trail. It was somewhat not exciting and quite disappointing. Haha. This half of the sem we were determined to go to this Gua. We woke up early to reach the Gua as the trail was only open from 9am-12pm. Owh yeah, its the Grand Tour. 22 ringgit per person. There were eleven of us and the girls initially did not want to go for the Grand Tour as it was a wet trail but afte much persuasion, we did go. Haha. Half way through the Grand Tour we thought or at least I thought the girls were right. Haha. We had to crawl through tunnels filled with water, squad and walk. Slide down a rock which didn't seem safe at all. Go through a hole. The small of bat poop . The feeling of earth all around you. And not being able to see properly as eleven of us shared one tiny torchlight in a cave where you would not be able to see your own hands when the lights are all offed. Haha. We came out one end and thought it was done
Then the guide told us we were just half way as we had to make it back to the other opening. Haha. The total trail was 3 and a half hours. It was tiring . Sort of a regret at some point in the cave but as I look at it now...it was fun. A lot of fun. Haha.
Had one of my worst photograph taken at the entrance to the Grand Tour.
