You grab at a clump of weeds, expecting them to be uprooted but surprisingly they hold & you clamber up onto the ledge, shake the water off & within minutes in the warm cave you are beginning to feel drier. At the back of the ledge, the rocks have been layered into a small set of steps. You can climb the steps to the tunnel but you look back tempted for a moment to dive back into the sparkling river.
