Sergio kisses his girlfriend Pilar goodbye before entering Krubera cave with his friend Bernard Tourte. They were going into the cave for a 2 day trip.
Well, Krubera is a DEEP cave and as often happens on expeditions plans change. Bernard hurt his ribs and Sergio stayed underground with him. After Bernard felt better the two of them helped explore and push the cave even deeper.
2 WEEKS later they reemerged. The cave was nearly 2 kilometers deep.
Sometimes things do not go as planned. It did work out well for me. Not only are the picture and the story behind it good, but Pilar assisted me making pictures in the upper parts of the cave (my first assistant broke his hand in a rock fall but that is another story). Even when things don't go according to plan, they can go well.
