In the afternoon, we went to Lang Cave and Deer cave in Mulu National park. Lang cave is a very low hanging cave and Norm had to duck most of the hike. Before we could get to the caves, we had to cross a suspension bridge and then walk 3 kilometers just to get to the entrance through the jungle. Cindy photographed lots of Rajah Brooke butterflies. No snakes were seen but the info at the park ranger station said to watch for pit vipers. One of them was enough thank you. The deer cave got its name from the deer that used to live in the cave along with thousands of bats (24 different species). The cave is the tallest and widest in Malaysia and is second only to Mammoth Cave in the US. There is a very clear profile of Abraham Lincoln in the rock. Inside is the most beautiful garden at the other end. It is called the Garden of Eden. There was also a shower for Adam and a shower for Eve just before the Garden. Unusual smells in a cave where the bats drop 3 tons of guano per day. One person wrapped a towel around her nose. Huge stalactites and water streams. We saw rapids in the interior river.
