Afqa Cave. All the time we have been coming to Lebanon the water levels have been too high to get into Afqa. The cave has a massive entrance with an impressive waterfall pouring out. The previous weekend we drove past the cave and the water levels were lower than we had seen in the past, so we decided to visit the cave today.
Afqa is where Adonis met his death and also where Adonis and Aphrodite exchanged their first kiss. The five Brits , armed with the recent SCL survey entered the cave to explore. The cave is a maze of small tunnels and we had a few route finding issues at first. We explored most of the cave but had a time restraint as Rick was due to give a presentation at the SCL club that night.
On the evening SCL were having the official opening of their new library at the club, so there was a TV company present to film the event and interview Rick (or Eric to our Lebanese friends). The evening had an unexpected ending when Hadi slipped off the first holds of their indoor climbing wall and dislocated his knee. After some first aid an ambulance was called to take Hadi to hospital to have his knee cap put back in place.
Hadi came home accompanied by Rena and Issaam by 1:30am with his knee in place and splinted.
