sohoton*

*sohoton, in the context of caving, could mean spelunking. the cave got so many passageways such that if no tourguide around, one would be lost in the maze of sohoton.

sohoton cave is located in basey, samar. not sure of its area, but i am sure of this: it is accessible to anyone at anytime except at exactly 12:00 noon. why so? i'd leave it to the guide to tell.

my digital camera run out of batteries by the time we visited sohoton. and joel's cam, too. though joel's mobile is worth more than 30thou in its first release, but mine proved better as an alternative gadget to take pictures. so my mobile served more useful than his in that very unlikely situation. and it is way cheaper than his.

since my mobile cam has no flash and not a single lens reflex, and with no wide angle lens, so the pictures we took inside were limited to cave walls and particular stalagtites, not really showing that this a cave. when one looks at the pictures inside the cave, no one would think that we are inside the cave. but hey, my mobile took pictures, joel's not even a single shot.

and the pictures i posted here? the river going to the cave - wow superb! and the walls of the rock formation just near the cave - wow great! (well, well, well, an inset shows stalagtites/stalagmites plus the mouth of the cave leading to the exit. at least i had pictures showing the cave's interior.)
