What a difference 27 days could make! Kentucky nature truly bloomed offering us the beauty of green fields, trees full of bright green young leaves and beautiful flowers.

Today was the third time I visited Mammoth Cave National Park. I booked Violet City Lantern Tour, a 2.5-hour tour with just lanterns for lighting. This was something unique that I have never done before. The group was relatively large in size, but lanterns were distributed pretty evenly to allow enough light to walk safely.
The experience was really different from Grand Avenue Tour in my previous post where the cave itself was very visible. Today, I didn't even feel the dimensions unless the guide pointed out that we were in gigantic rooms.

| Ghosts... Well, humans who appear as ghosts because it is so darn dark |

The tour guide was not as great as we had in the previous tour. He kept talking about the same thing over and over again, but he did provide us with a lot of historical facts about humans disrespecting the cave in the past. Even now occasionally they have idiots drawing their initials on the rocks. Some humans should just stay at home. Forever.
It was not as challenging as Grand Avenue Tour both physically and mentally. I would say it was the right amount of walking and history, although I still liked Grand Avenue more just because of our tour guide whose sense of humor alleviated any kind of tiredness after 4 hours of walking.
