Our guide hopped into a wooden boat and protected us from the sun with her parasol. We enter the cave. Perceptions of space are turned upside-down. Our voices echo off rocks we can't see, light bounces from unexpected places. There's nobody in these caves but us. The only sounds are our voices and the oars slapping the water. "Put your head down!" my guide says. We crouch in our wooden boat to dodge stalactites.
