St. Michael's Cave

The first stop was St. Michael's Cave. There were wonderful stalactites (pics. 1-3). Our guide said the green color was from our breath but it appeared the other colors were from colored lights. They were stunning anyways.

We also saw a large cavern that had been used as a hospital but was now a theater (pic. 4). Although the stalactites drip constantly so you have to be careful which seat you select.

There was also a stalactite cross section (pic. 5) that showed how they were formed over time.
