Yep..that's me....trying to "get" the giraffe. I have been to the pitch black cave and got nowhere...and now i have trouble finding it again (dingbat said to leave and go back, which I have done and still can't get back to the dark cave)....okay...i thought the cave near the chasm and the dark one could be the same cave...approached from different ends. I did have the support, made the clown happy with his nose, got his bottle and went from there....so I think I am finished with that cave. However...I just can't get the combo of the rooms...i have no idea what i am supposed to be doing...finding the giraffe from the cave, obviously, but I can't get myself out of there.....argh.
