    Son Doong Cave - Day 3 (Engagement Day!)

    July 27, 2015 in Vietnam ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

    It's pancakes for breaky this morning which is a welcomed change for Trav from the constant Asian food.

    We arrive and setup our cameras at the first 'doline' (cave opening) and capture some impressive shots. We continue to the second doline and as we get ready for another photo, Trav drops down on one knee to pop the big Q. Suki frantically yells 'What are you doing?!' and eventually responds with an 'Ok then' and a cheeky grin. The photo continue and cheap Vietnamese champagne is sprayed over us followed by congrats and finally lunch.

    Still on cloud nine we continue hiking the treacherous terrain until we arrive at the next camp site and drop off our day packs. From here we continue right to the end of the cave via a 1km long narrow muddy path flanked either side by steep clay batters until we reach the Vietnam Wall.

    Back at camp it's time for another impressive feast followed by more games involving exhausting exercises.

    A magical an unforgettable day - we're ENGAGED!
