Go while you're still young

My parents went here when they were first married, so my husband and I visited the cave when we first got married. They no longer take your picture on the cement steps, with everyone else on the tour...now they take individual pictures of you down in the cave. The picture package has one 5X7 and some wallets and it costs about $20.00, let them take your picture even if you don't buy...there is no obligation to buy it, and it's neat to see your picture when the tour is done. And if you're thinking about taking your camera...take the flash off. But even with the flash off, it's really hard to get good pictures down here without professional cameras. They take tours out every 20 minutes, and you have to wait in a long line. But the long line is certainly worth the wait. it was a wonderful experience. I was a little sad to hear though, that they blocked a few of the old paths off, because they've discovered new endagered species in the cave. You certainly need to be in shape to go through this cave...and you have to be able to put up with a little body stench from the people infront of you. If you're not annoyed by the voice of the tour guide...stick close to her...you'll be able to hear much more information about the cave. Also! Wear shoes with nice traction on them....the steps are steep and slippery!
