Perfectly equipped, we went on to a cave, Caverna de Quiocta.<\/p>\n<p>The cave is pretty muddy. But hey, that is part of the fun. It is situated in a wall of a hill overlooking a valley. It is\u00a0 about 570 meter long. Apparently, the entrance area was used as a burial side as there are some human skulls greeting the visitors.\u00a0 Towards its end, there are some nice stalactites and stalagmites forming columns.\u00a0 When leaving the cave, my camera fogged up (camera cooled down in cave meeting hot and humid air) which afforded me some interesting pictures.<\/p>\n<p>In the evening, I met up with the folks whom I had joined for the tour to Ravesh the day before. A nice evening with tasty food and a multilingual table conversation. Marcello, unfortunately you kept quiet about your birthday &#8212; belatedly, I wish you a happy birthday and all the best for your next year in life!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure
