Home Sweet Cave

So I'm sure you're interested in what our cave hotel looks like. We took a few pictures so you can see.

The first picture is of the whole hotel from the valley across the way. Our cave room is on the top floor - the left one right under the solar panels.

The double room with the holes in the walls was Charley and Diana's. The holes are meant for pigeon houses (so they can collect the poop for fertilizer). For anyone that knows Diana and her disdain of pigeons...this is ironic and funny.

Our room (triple, we shared with Vince) had no pigeon holes but we had a cute little window which sometimes let in a nice breeze.

I asked the owner if these caves are 'original'. He said the government does not allow people to create any new caves in this area or even modify a cave in a substantial way. If you change something you can go to jail (I'm guessing there are some ways around the rules in order to turn caves to hotel rooms). This entire area is a national park of sorts.

We asked if people still live in the caves and he said some do. Very few people in the current generation choose to live in a cave. A while back the government built lots of houses to try and get people out of the caves.

For the most part the caves are always nice and cool. It doesn't smell funny or anything. And we've seen zero bugs!
