Mulu - Clearwater Cave & Cave of the Winds

Once  again, it's a big wow once in the cave. The particularity of this cave is that there is one spot where you can feel the wind (thus its name).
It turned out this little wind was really nice given that it's not cold nor cool in the cave. It's not as warm as outside, but not enough to cool you down. Somehow it contradicted everything I knew about a cave: cold, wet and gloomy.
Once done with the Cave of the Winds we walked back down to the river and thenup again (400 steps or so...) to reach the Clearwater Cave.


Like its name indicates, the Clearwater cave has a river (of very clear water) that runs through it. This sign helped us understand how this works.

A lesson of the beginning of earth as we know it (with oxygen) when looking at cyanobacteria.
