Caving at Horne Lake Provincial Park & the end of our Mini Honeymoon

The last day of our mini honeymoon I convince Brian to do something that I thought was something else... I wanted to go "walk" through the caves at Horne Lake Provincial park on their "family friendly" guided tour. As it turns out, it was climbing, not walking after a big hike up a mountain, down into that mountain into a black hole... I think Brian was more excited about it after we both realized what we were about to do!





Brian about to climb down into the hole

Me about to go down the hole

This wasn't my camera angle, it was this steep. I was standing above Brian (blue hat) and our guide is the one with her hand on the rock.



Brian's little flashlight was pretty helpful to see things and for making light for my camera. It was pitch black.

The Aligator



We had to sit in a lot of tight quarters to listen to our tour guide

Me climbing in a tight space where you couldn't stand up and you  weren't allowed to touch most things.

Looking at formations growing on the ground... can't remember what it was called but they all took longer than tens of thousands of life times to create.

We made it out!!! Great experience but I wouldn't do it again!!!!!

Our Mini Honeymoon

Its been an expensive year for us and we really want to do a special honeymoon... that is being put on hold for a few years so we can save up. Instead, we took a mini honeymoon to Vancouver Island to get away just the two of us for almost a week after all the chaos of getting married...  we did a bit of hotels, camping, island hopping... it was a great time!


Showing off the ring!

Sore back... too much driving!
