We were all in need of an early night after all the driving and A & Hs early start, and sleep ins aren’t an option with little kids. The next day dawned bright and sunny so after breakfast we headed towards Chattanooga and the Ruby Falls. These falls are underground and reached by a half mile walk rhrough caves similar in many ways to Waitomo although more confined. Certainly as far as I am concerned it is the only type of walking to do in 35 degree C temperatures. The tour guide commentary is pretty light and the actual falls are made spectcular via the lighting effects and build up music before the lights are turned on to reveal the falls. Eleanor enjoyed the lights but was a litle freaked out by the walk around behind the falls and looking up at the diamond effects as the water cascades down toward you. Good photo shot opportunity.
