Spelunking

I went to visit the Petnica cave today with Margot and Mira, my host mom's niece. I think it might be my favorite adventure so far. It was a scorching hot day again, and the cave was at least 20 degrees cooler. There was a doorway carved out on one side with a stairway leading up; I stuck my head in and got a freezing rush of air from inside. Didn't have my flashlight or I would have explored more.

There's a river that runs through the cave and then out to the city. As we were sitting on the edge dangling out feet in the freezing water we noticed some figures carved in the wall. Not sure what they are as I haven't seen anything written about them; they look like soldiers.

I found out from one of the other students that there's another cave above the one we were in that has prehistoric drawings. Maybe I'll see that one next time :)
