Cave Exploring Under A Chateau - Doing It Ourselves

[@Dr.med.GeorgeGrant]

At the midnight hour, down below a cave, a group of merry ramblers pursued their task quite brave. On the trail of others, they traced a path of toil and in the depth of stonework, their laughter came to boil. Clad in shiny outfits discoveries were made, cause for a guided cave tour it never is too late ! Excellent entertainment not below stairs, but right down in the pit !! 😄🥇

Brilliant comment. Loved it 👌

Oh, the History…so good to see everyone having fun, laughter does the heart good.

[@gaslitworldf.melissab2897]

So good to see Stephanie just relaxing, laughing, not filming or editing. She deserves to enjoy friendship.

[@cynthialambert9067]

The sheer giddiness of this whole adventure was manna to my soul. Couldn't wipe the smile off my face for the whole half hour. Many of us have nearly forgotten what it feels like to be amongst good friends and exploring and having a marvelous time together. It's great. Such fun.

[@richardhathaway2901]

They were all very brave to go into the caves at night but as a sufferer of claustrophobia myself, I admire Philip most of all. He didn't want to go down there but overcame his anxiety anyway and braved the depths just to be part of the team. That's true courage. I don't think the rest of the party truly appreciated that. Michael's Beef Wellington looked magnificent!

[@suzyhazelwood9942]

Ohhhh... you couldn't pay me to go down there... those shoes... so creepy!!!!😱 But thanks for best virtual walk I've taken at 9am in the morning... and still in my chair with a cup of tea... best place to be!!!😂😂😂

OMG, I nervously watched and held my breath until all 5 of you returned to the entrance. At 26.00, Stephanie captured Philip's expression...PRICELESS! LOL...perfect editing Michael...Yes, a horror/monster/adventure movie. So wonderfully creepy, hilarious and SCARY! King "Ed of the Caves" is a spelunking master, building up the cave drama at every mysterious turn into the darkness! Thanks for taking us along, Michael. It was so much fun!

I've actually been to the cave of the Goonies and seen the pirate ship, which was put there for the movie, and is still there to this day. The cave is outside of Vienna, Austria in a place called Hinterbrühl, and is called Seegrotte. It's closed now because of Covid, but a really fascinating way to spend an afternoon. They even have weddings down there.

[@DoingItOurselvesOfficial]

It was a real cave?!?! I need to visit

[@annaibarra3447]

No, I didn’t realized it was in Vienna. Darn, could have gone when we lived in Germany. Shoot!

[@sgussy]

Goonies. Favourite childhood movie . Ever❤️❤️

[@dagz6831]

@@DoingItOurselvesOfficial What fun that was to see. I live in Astoria, Oregon where much of the Goonies movie was filmed and there is still a huge fan group that comes here to celebrate the movie. The coastal caves here are far less dramatic compared to our lava caves created by the many volcanoes here in the Pacific Northwest (you may have heard of Mt St Helens, erupted 1980). The lava caves are great spelunking!

[@dianetaylor9834]

So glad to see you are back Michael creating fun, laughter and mischief with Stephanie at Ed and Anna's Chateau. I ask you🙄, what else would a girl be wearing on her feet to go caving, such a sensible choice! Well done.😊👍😘x

[@shawnhammond140]

I loved it. When i saw you were visiting Ed and Anna I hoped you would get a chance to explore the caves. I myself got to take a tour of Lewis and Clark caverns back in the early 1990s. It was amazing and so exciting. I know there was some joking and use of double entendre prior to tour filming, so I will add to it by saying... I can imagine building a "secret mancave" connected to the winery. (Oh he went there didn't he...) A grand study or library of that gorgeous limestone. Filled with grand oak bookcases, comfy overstuffed armchairs, a roaring fireplace, and other posh treats. Somewhere I could sit reading old books or listening to great music. Your comment about it being less like a horror movie plot and more like an adventure movie really resonated with me. I loved glimpsing the history of the quarry. Viewing all those dates and knowing you are standing where someone else stood decades before. The experience is awe inspiring. I would love to have heard a James Brown record played down there. I wonder what it would have sounded like with the echos. Please continue to share all these exciting adventures and your laughter with us all. As always love and good wishes from Alaska. SH

Love the idea of the arrows leading in or out. Also the drawings like caves of old. Could not help but always have fun right along with you and laugh a bit over things said and done.
