I love the sound of the Prekmurska gibanica. I really enjoy the food in that part of the world. I think I'd enjoy those caves and definitely the castle. This is my favourite day so far.

I don't thinks you would panic in them. Some of the caves are so large that concerts can be held in them. The acoustics are amazing!! They are not at all like our small English caves which can feel rather suffocating. The tunnels are enourmous and not at all claustrophobic. I don’t thinks you would panic in them.

I remember as a child I LOVE caves... LOVE all the shapes of the stone. Such beauty. The castle looks well protected by the mountain and what a view to end the vacation.... have a great week.

And you're so brave to go into a cave. I freaked out in the tunnels of Henry Vlll's castle in Portsmouth! I could never go into a cave! When in Penzance, I was supposed to go swimming/exploring underwater caves,but there was no freaking way! Not that I am a coward or anything.....lol....(but you are so brave!)

Light caused algae to grow and spoil the biosphere of the cave. The cave system is immense and we only saw a small part that is open to visitors. One of the caves is named the concert hall and yes concerts are held in it. At Christmas time nativity scenes are displayed around the tunnels of the cave. Photos are allowed without flash.

That could not have been an easy shot to take? They won't let us take photos inside Mammoth Cave anymore, but I'm sure it would be very difficult with limited lighting - you've done a beautiful job:) Interesting the various uses they have found for caves throughout history - Mammoth Cave, here, was also used for military storage. (It was also tried out as tuberculosis hospital treatment and even used for church revivals!) Nothing quite as grand and regal as a castle on the cliffs nearby was ever tried, though. (Sadly, America was never fond of building castles.) Truly amazing :) Oh, what a great pic inside the cave! That could not have been an easy shot to take?
