We woke up at the hotel and had a scrumptious breakfast in the hotel restaurant. As we were a bit later than planned we ended up going shopping (and not swimming as we had planned…), but shopping was good. After a quick lunch at McDonald’s, we headed off to our activity for the day – caving! We changed into our clothes to get wet and dirty and got fitted for helmets, and then drove to the caving site. It was a short hike (in the rain!) to the cave entrance and then we entered and started our journey. Inside was rocky and damp, but not too slippery. We had to crawl through a few tight spaces, up some inclines, across ledges, and wade through thigh deep water. Once we got over the shock of the water, it was not too bad. There was a place where lots of trees had decomposed making this really soft sand-like material. Then, just before the end was a large pool that we could swim in if we wanted. 6 people went in! It was a bit chilly, but pretty cool to swim in a cave. We dried off, and then hiked back out, and back to our vehicles. We went to the University where we showered off and cleaned up, then got a quick dinner, and headed to the ferry where we would board the late ferry overnight and head back to Nova Scotia.
