Goa Stone Mirror

Virgin Holidays to Goa Stone Mirror
Old Goa Full Misteri.Mencium cave mouth is enough adrenaline. How could I not, right in front of the entrance visitors are faced with stalaktik and stalagmite with an 50-meter length which is exactly stand on his head. It could be that weighs thousands of tons. Uh .. if the old crumbling stone, guaranteed all of us become 'yours respectfully'. Somewhat scary indeed, especially no visitors other than saya.Nah group, enter the cave in the dark also feels strange. Moreover, once past the gate, every visitor must squat jolly because a very narrow aperture. Width 60 cm and a height not exceeding one meter. Not only that, the rocks that we are standing still beautiful and pointed here and there, so it requires extra caution. Once inside the cave with a super narrow road, through the media light of batteries (flashlight) direct visitors to get a miracle: the ancient cave is definitely a part of the seabed. Seen a lot of sponges that have been helpful that you can find in almost corner. In fact, there are also rock piles tens of meters. We are on the ocean floor that has been dried.
Inside the cave, there is a very wide space named by the tour guide as a living room. The extent of approximately five times seven square meters. Here visitors can stand up straight. In the middle there is a large stone that resembles a large desk and above it there are small stones that taper creamy. When we beamed flashlight, then the rocks at the top it seemed to emit light. Similar to a table in your living room decorated with crystal lamps on it. It is said that the story, in the prehistoric era, this is where the locals live. And, in the colonial period, especially during the Japanese occupation, this room is used as the headquarters of the resistance of the population. The local warlords battle strategy of designing the cave whose front is covered with cobwebs. The invaders had made trouble for it.
At one end of the ceiling living room, there is a natural heritage that is difficult argue with. Fossil turtles of nearly 100 centimeters in diameter attached to the stone wall. Clearly the head, body and tail. Only, these turtles have become hardened and mengerak 'rock'. "This is another proof that the cave was once located on the seabed," explains the tour guide. Towards the end of the cave, visitors will be struck by the bat flying to and fro and even snoring in over us. Shrill, piping voice seemed to give a welcome. And if apes, feces sprayed into our direction. But if you're lucky, a variety of animals are often also found in these dark areas, such as crickets and spiders. Please be careful! At the top of the wall of the cave there is a white elongated stone. He only became clear when highlighted with a flashlight. Because it resembles a woman dressed all in white and veiled, then for the local Christians, this is often regarded as the Mother Mary image.
Well, after passing through the halls of high but narrow, comes the end of the cave. There are a rarity here, there was the dim light that decorate the room. Quizzed had inquired, was at the upper end there, there is a narrow hole that can be entered by the sun. These rays are bounced bounced through rocks and reached the bottom of the cave where I stand. And, when the bottom of the cave flooded again, then sun it will bounce back into the room, causing the light that illuminates all the parts. Wow, incredible. Perhaps because of this natural phenomenon, a Dutch archaeologist called the Mirror Stone Cave. In a very exotic visitors can linger, because in addition to air and good lighting, there are some decent aisle explored further. Not forgetting, bikinlah as many photos as possible to be uploaded on facebook. Guaranteed others will be appalled. Even journalists from Russia, was surprised and amazed. "As this does not exist in Russia," they said.
