24th August, 2012.
Hang Sung Sot, or the "Cave of Surprises" on Bo Hon Island, was discovered in 1901 by the French.
The entrance to Hang Sung Sot is 25m above sea level. To be honest, I’m not sure if this is the entrance to Hang Sung Sot or one of the other two caves on Bo Hon Island.
In any case, there was a nice view over the water from the cave entrance, once we had clambered up the steps.
One last look at the outside world, before descending into the cave.
Hang Sung Sot consists of three chambers filled with unusual rock formations, which are highlighted by coloured lights.
Woodley admiring Hang Sung Sot.
More rock formations:
We had to walk in single file through the cave, and I wasn’t near the guide. Apparently, three of the rock formations resemble a Buddha, a large tortoise and an impressive example of a piece of male anatomy.
I must have been looking the other way when I passed all three of them.
Emerging into daylight again.
Once again, there was an impressive view of the bay.
To return to our boat, we had to walk along a bridge past some ever-present hawkers in boats.
At least you could be sure that the fish was fresh.
