Dino... Day 5
We awoke to a boiled egg and tea breakfast and then due to dwindling food supplies we packed up and headed to the next town. We were also in search of cave #3. At the village we paid a visit to our friend the shop keeper who, surprising as it may seem, was watching the oscars. We joined him, enjoyed tea and re-supplied. As we left the town neither of us could get over how surreal our little excursion into the village had been.
While exploring more tunnels and caves we stumbled upon the perfect cave #3, a luxury penthouse apartment and with expert timing as rain began during our wood gathering. After hauling the best part of a tree up the 20 foot vertical hole that led to our cave we set about burning it which turned out to be a dismal failure. So much so that after 1 hour and lots of paper later our fire was not even adequate enough to bother the bat that flew in to it. He seemed so comfortable in fact that he decided to stay there for a photo.
With a mounting sense of failure we reluctantly left the cave and started the dark journey to the next town aided only by a candle which proved to be more of a hindrance than a help. After losing our way many times we eventually came to a beautiful waterfall lit by the stars.
When we eventually came to the town we found shelter and hot water.
But who took the photo?
