Mother nature never fails to amaze me. And especially with the diversification of abundance natural resources in Sarawak, you can never be short of interesting places to see and visit here. It was our final day of TSDAYout special edition of Selangor meets Sarawak. Well it is close to end of my 4D3N journey, a little bittersweet as we had so much fun during this trip. We were not only given the privilege to witness the hundreds years cave with mystical features but made strong bonding and friendship among us that was simple captivating.
Ok, first up after hefty breakfast that morning, off we went to Fairy Cave located at Bau, Sarawak. Fairy Cave was actually a former gold mining settlement about 40km from Kuching. Guess how much was the entrance fee??? Only 1 ringgit. yes you got that right.
There are many formations that you can see and explore and photo opportunities or even for meditation as well :) There are some unusual stalactites and stalagmites that were formed over thousands of years ago. It is quite dark as we entered into certain area, so please bring along torchlight and wear a proper walking shoes as it can be quite slippery.

Such a moment like this kept me thinking. Do fairy really exist? and why do this cave was named Fairy Cave? Maybe there were fairy rooming around, we will never know. Legend or myth? - you decide. Must admit that this cave somehow ignite a nostalgic mood to reflect a fascinating and meaningful contribution of mother nature and life. No wonder it is also a great place to gather inspiration to some nature lover.

After exploring Fairy Cave, we proceed to another cave namely Wind Cave about 10 minutes drive away. Open from 830am to 430pm, Entrance fee is about RM1 for an adult (Malaysian) and RM5 (Foreigner)

| Welcome to Wind Cave |
 |
| A great reminder notice as you arrived Wind Cave |
 |
| look like a dinosaur skeleton over here.. |
 |
| Almost unreal, almost absurd..look carefully and you will notice a human face form on the bottom right...eerie? not quite. |
Who would have thought that an afternoon discovery in this Wind Cave will look like this? Offering a varieties of distinctive formation that was effortlessly phenomenal. As I switched on my "torch apps" of my Iphone, the pitch dark cave suddenly came alive with squeaking voices of bats and echo of steps as we walked. Don't worry if you do not have any torch, you may rent the head lamp for RM3.

| Look at how amazing the formation of stalactite and stalagmite |
 |
| like a dungeon from a movie scene of Lord of the Rings |
 |
| look at its feets that simply stick on the wall of the cave like glue.. its a bat world out there |
 |
| the path way that looks a little eerie with bats hanging upside down..follow the WIND |
