"Soon after entering the caves, my good friend and guide took us to a chamber where a make-shift band was playing Mento music. They drummed on the limestone formations using some to make a deep bass sound and others forming stalactites to sound like a xylophone. "

Thanks for sharing that Accompong. I had and have read alot of reports and definitely felt like I missed something. I've heard of the Mento Band and only wished I had the same experience as you, in the caves. Awesome photos! I was actually uncomfortable in the Cave so my experience was different.

About a half hour after this photo was taken, A new model BMW BACKED into the river with 2 guys in the front seats and 2 young ladies in the back of the Beamer. All wheels were under water. All 4 doors opened and the two girls in the back got out of the vehicle, one was very well dressed and sporting 4 inch heels. I couldn't for the life of me understand why these guys were backing into the river and letting their fine looking and fine dressed ladies out, in the water, to walk to dry land. This is the opposite of any chivalry that I knew. I asked Mr. T what they were doing. He said they are going to wash the car. I still didn't believe him. But that is what they did. Backed their new Beamer into the river, ladies out (in the water) and they washed the car. Again, a moment I wish I had on film.
