    Every time we would come back to the 1st hole, tge gps would indicate we are nearest to the cave. We looked in a bit more carefully and saw that at the base of the hole, there was a narrow hole going horizontally. This was about 30-40 cms high and about 50 cms wide. A person would barely fit in there.
    Hristo decided to investigate but there could be animals or snakes etc there so we made a lot of noise and stamped our feet above to scare out anything that could be there. After that Hristo climbed into the vertical hole and started sliding into the horizontal hole with his feet first. He reached a small chamber where he was able to sit up and there was enough space for 3-4 more people. He saw another opening from this chamber, equally narrow and going one level down. He called out to me and confirmed that the air was breathable and flowing so we wouldn't lack oxygen inside. I followed him in, same manner with my feet first and sliding on the back. The chamber was barely big enough to sit but had some space to move around.
