Where in the world are we?

It is 24 January and we are moving through underground caverns of incredible peace and beauty. The only sounds are the lapping of water from the movement of our boat through the still underground lakes, and the occasional pole thrust our guide uses on the walls. There is no motor, no commentary, and no-one else in the caverns. It is eery and magical, with wonderful illumination. We are very glad we drove this far. Only mapped in the last fifty years and still without an end being found, these caverns open to the sea and were supposedly used as a hide-out for resistance groups during the Second World War.
