On Monday, Dad and Mom took us to see the Crystal and Fantasy caves located about an hour away from where we live. Crystal and Fantasy caves are located within walking distance of each other and their features are similar too. It was a special treat to look at these spectacular creations that God has made in the earth.
The tour guide gave us a brief history of the caves and how they were discovered before taking us in. There are over 80 steps leading down into each cave and it was quite breathtaking to look at all the different formations as we descended deeper into the cave. The bottom of the caves are filled with crystal clear salt water that ripples in soft greenish-blue hues. Looks are deceiving though and in some areas of these subterranean lakes, the water reaches depths of over 50 feet! Drops of rainwater that has filtered down through the layers of rock fall from the top of the caves, making the cave feel damp. But the cave is still active, and the stalactites and stalagmites are still growing!
I thoroughly enjoyed looking at all the marvelous formations and amazing beauty that are in the earth. Certainly, if you ever visit Bermuda, the caves will be one sight you wouldn't want to miss.
These pictures are only glimpses of the wonderful landscape we saw in the caves!
