As Bev's parents wanted a couple of quieter days round the house, Bev and Paul bunked off with just us bears for company and visited caves - the Caves of Drac and the Coves d'Arta. The Caves of Drac were stunning, with a large underground lake and auditorium. We sat in the auditorium in the dark while 3 boats came across the lake - the boats were lit and carried musicians playing classical music. It was an amazing experience, though unfortunately Bev and Paul were not allowed to take any photographs. But never mind, we got the chance to cross the lake in one of the boats to complete our tour round the caves. The Coves d'Arta were also spectacular, with stunning stalactites and a cave that was 45 meters high (the same height as the nave of Palma Cathedral!). Bev and Paul were allowed to take photographs in these caves, so they spent ages clicking away with their cameras. The caves were visited by Jules Verne, inspiring his wonderful book "Journey to the Centre of the Earth", which Bev has now downloaded onto her iPod - she will be thinking about the caves when she listens to the book.
Paul got a good photograph of us bears climbing in the caves - we thought it was a great place to play and hide, but we didn't stray too far in case we got left behind by forgetful Paul.
