The Bat Cave





Sabang is home to one of the 7 natural wonders of the world - the underground river (aka the bat cave). After taking a 15 minute beautiful boat ride to a sandy white beach we walked the monitor lizard path to the entrance of the river. We donned our lifevests and helmets (we looked like a scene from Fraggle Rock) and stepped into our boat that shuttled us through the water cave and pointed out stalactites that looked like various catholic church symbols. The most noteworthy thing was the 60,000 bats that inhabited the cave. There was swooping, chirping, and random dripping from above, hence the minor hats. Tim faced his fear and entered the cave - his reward... Kyle shaved his mustache! After the cave we trekked into the forrest to look for monkeys and monitor lizards. A beautiful day followed by a fun dance party at the church with the youth. Man, do the kids here know how to dance! Thanks for the fun times Palawan!
