Wesak Weekend Part 2 – Hiking(2)

From Tondong, we then made our way to Wind Cave. Adults pay an entrance fee of RM4. The entire network of caves have wooden plank walkways which are well-maintained so it’s possible to just go in sneakers. However, there are no lights inside the cave (because of the bats I think) so torchlights are a must! Otherwise you’d be groping your way in the dark, which trust me isn’t nice unless you’re the sort who likes holding on to guano-decorated hand rails.

Photography 101 – Fairy Cave

It seemed ages since our last photography session with CK so when news came from Dtg that CK was thinking of taking us to Fairy Cave on the 6th, it was greeted with much excitement.

CK came to collect us just after 830 am and everyone was in good spirits because, despite the rain we’ve been getting all week, Sunday had dawned bright and sunny day.

About 3/4 of the way, we “kidnapped” Gladys at Tondong (a village 3/4 of the way to Bau), which turned out to be a fantastic thing for 2 reasons. First, Gladys introduced us to some yummycheapalicious kolo mee at Tondong. Secondly, at Fairy Cave she was the de facto guide who pointed out all the sweet shooting angles for us. So glad you came in the end woman.

The result of some 3+ hours of shooting:

Oh yeah, sorry no pictures of the Tondong kolo mee. When it comes to good food, photography takes a back seat. Heh.

Despite his initial hemming and hawing, the brother eventually decided to tag along. Good thing too otherwise he would have missed out on the chance of taking these nice shots and learning that Tondong has yummy kolo mee. Silly boy, told him it would be worth him getting up early on a Sun morning.

CK’s photos are here and Gladys’ here.
