Harrison's Cave

The major attraction on Barbados is Harrison's Cave.  It is a huge cave formed by water erosion through limestone rock - Barbados is made of limestone, not volcanic rock.  The water that runs through the caves - it take a year from the time rain falls until it lands on the floor of the caves - formed stalactites and stalagmites.  Harrison's Cave is pretty far from where we stayed, but we thought that it was worth the trip.  It was really interesting - plus, we got to wear awesome hairnets!










It's not often we get a great photo of our entire family, but I'm sad to say that this will not be on our Christmas card.







You can barely see the waterfall in this picture. 

The piece on the top and the piece on the bottom will grow and eventually join - in about 2 million years.
