I was starting to think that only I used the video function :p I have always wanted to see the bats at Carlsbad in New Mexico, USA, but never have caught them at the right time of year.

Actually a cave in general would be neat. I haven’t seen much of anything amazing as far as caves go.
There are some neat looking ones in New Mexico I’d like to visit.
Great pics!

There are several absolutely stunning caves in Mulu National Park — one of the main reasons it’s a World Heritage Site.

Yes… The boy thought they were very sweet and human-looking when we met some up close. I find them vaguely disturbing. There’s something unformed and foetal about them when you see them close up. En masse, however, they’re amazing…

I would totally recommend you take in Borneo. You need to plan ahead to get the good deals, generally speaking, but there are wonderful caves in the whole of Mulu. The trails to the main caves are all plank walks and concrete, so very do-able even if you have mobility challenges. Also just a very lovely place to watch the world go by.

Thanks so much for joining in.

We were just watching a bunch of bats at Pont du Gard in Provence, France. they seemed to come out at 9 pm and gave us a show.

This looks like a great place to check out when our family world tour takes us to Asia this fall and winter!
