Bat cave

We return for a supper of chicken with vegetables and chill while watching the sunset. It's been a day full of activities but we had just one more to complete. A visit to a bat cave.

So in the dark we jump back into the truck and drive out into the bush with some more beer. At first it didn't seem like much, just a hole in the ground that we could barely see with the help of our phone lights. With the lights dimmed we begin to become aware of a stready stream of bats darting out of the hole. Inside the hole is a large metal ladder. As the stream begins to dwindle we are invited to descend so one by one we carefully step down. 

The space is very tight and there's barely enough room to pass each other. From the bottom of the ladder the cave doesn't extend far before there's a large drop and the walls narrow. In the distance, with our phones, we can see deeper into the cave and the occasional flutter as a bat passes overhead.
