This is The Alternative Adventures of Narnia and likewise announced to you by The Voice of Aslan tuning you into a program of excitement and lightheadedness.
Instead of being boring and exploring more of The Lion, the Witch and The Wardrobe, we have decided to move on to more new and exciting things.
Quite recently an exciting film was released for your viewing pleaser. This long awaited film went by the name of Prince Caspian. Please, proceed free of charge.
Our explorers found it necessary to rise early to be able to view today’s location. They rose and quickly headed off in the direction of a long sought over and mysterious land. It, like previous places, was also too mysterious for the public eye for many moons (*cough* more money disputes *cough*).
But lucky for our explorers, the sight was open. They headed up a gravel road and into an already inhabited car park. They wasted no time in setting out down the 15 minute gravel path (where they encountered a strange man in an orange jacket demanding $11 dollars to pass by) and then across the 10 minute path across the path and to the Cathedral Caves.
Our explorers soon learned that the caves extended much farther then anticipated and seeing as they had only two hours available, they could not see them all. To inform you. The Cathedral Caves are only open for 8 hours of the day in two four hour intervals. The Caves can only be accessed at low tide and two hours before and after. The tides move two hours everyday, but our explorers could not wait for a more opportune low tide time. The time of the low tide on this day was 8:20. Our explorers arrived at about that time, so only had two hours.
The first cave they explored had been heavily explored. It was almost completely dry and of course the ground was completely doused in sand. The first cave came to a sudden end before veering sharply to the right. This small side tunnel lead into the back of the second cave, which was fairly similar to the first.
After this amazing excursion of the caves, our explorers ventured into deeper and more dangerous territory. To reach this place, they were forced to wade in ankle deep sea water for many yards.
After this, a plethora of caves was laid out in front of them. Alas, they were not as easy viewing as the previous caves. Our explorers were unequipped with a flashlight and had only meager light from the red focusing light of a camera. One of the caves they began to explore was waterlogged for several feet before it returned to dry ground.
Another was thin, growing thinner and thinner before expanding into a wide cavern. Others twisted and turned. One extended deep into the mountain. And one was like a great entrance, extending what seemed like a mile above our explorer’s heads. This great entrance lead into three small caves. One was a neat rectangle, extending only a couple feet. The ground was littered in seaweed. Another was a perfect square, also extending a couple feet. This one was short and would have forced our explorers to bend over if they had ventured inside. The third cave was somewhat to the side. It was too thin to be explored, but careful examination revealed it was also shallow.
At this point an hour had passed, so our explorers decided to return, as their feet were getting cold. They made their way back to the perilous water crossing only to find it had risen several inches. They quickly splashed back through the water, zig-zagging back and forth to reach the shallowest areas and avoid the crashing waves.
The explorers all agreed heartily that the land of Narnia was truly an amazing place, but they unfortunately had to leave it. So they returned to the caves they had first ventured into and made their way back through it until they came out onto the beach, dotted in tourists. Then, only shaking a little from the cold, they returned back along the beach and up the rocky trail.
For those who are curious and wish to know what section of the movie our explorers saw, please read on. The movie is entitled Prince Caspian. Search out the kings and queens of old’s entrance into Narnia for the second time. They are seated on a bench in a train station. Lucy cries out, claiming that someone pinched her. Peter says that no one has touched her.
But as a train whistles by, the walls around them begin to fall away. And not long afterwards they find themselves in the mouth of an enormous cave, known to the world of the living as Cathedral Caves. The four then, crying out in joy, rush into the water, which we now imagine must have been freezing.
Soon afterwards Edmond spies a ruin up atop a hillside. Our explorers searched and searched, but in the end searched in vain for such a castle. But one could imagine the rolling green hills and crystal blue water that inhabited this space on those rare sunny days that strike only once a year in the cloudy and dreary sight our explorers adventured through.
We appreciate your continued support to The Alternative Adventures of Narnia and likewise announced to you by The Voice of Aslan. Please continue to listen closely for the mighty roar in the background proclaiming the return of this program.
