Romania: Land of Caves


Romania is known for its thousands of caves. This particular cave is called Pestera Muierilor - the cave was called this because of the women hidding in it during the many wars we had with the Ottomans and even during the two World Wars. I can't imagine how it was for them to improvise a living in here, as it is very cold and dark. They for sure had no electric light. Well, i hope none of us will have such experiences for the future.

And what about the bats? I think that would freak me out---no thanks.
