Gua Tempurung Adventure @ 16/04/2005

Gua Tempurung, a place which I've been hearing since the North-South Highway in place. People from all states has been visiting this place of interest... Well, too bad that I only got a chance to visit this place at the right time with this gang of colleagues...

Again, this is an activity organized by SSRC and a total of 30+ staff and family members were joining this adventure. The journey first started with a "open-bathing" of hotspring while we were on our way up to Ipoh for a night stay plus food hunting... And I had my very 1st experience of egg boiling at the hotspring area... Hehe... Pai seh pai seh... ^_^ At night, we walk out from our hotel and heading towards a "food-hunt" session nearby ( we purposely chose the hotel nearer to town area where we can hunt for Ipoh's famous food within walking distance )... Nyek nyek nyek... : P

Our Gua Tempurung adventure begin after a good sleep ( in fact, nobody had cause they are to excited to start the adventure )... It wasn't take adventure during the 1st hour as it was a ready-built walkway with platform for you to follow... and the real adventure begins when you reached the end of the walkway. If you opt to further your adventure here, you have to be prepared to get dirty and wet as you will be walking with your feet in the knee length waterway, bend your body to cross the tunnel like formation of stalagmites and stalactites, crawling on the underground river in order to protect your head ( unless you wear your safety helmet ) etc... and end at the other side of the cave.



Well... Its rather hard to tell what and how's the experience throughout this 3+ hours adventure, basically you just ought to try out yourself but do bare in mind that there is a chance where you may be "crowned" with bat's droppings even you are on the walkway ya... : D And last, we ended our adventure trip by again "makan" at 1 of the famous food court in Ipoh town after visited the Kellis Castle at Batu Gajah, Ipoh. By the time we reached HQ, its already 9:30pm+ at night... Nothing much more but again a tiring day... : )
