Day 4 - Waitomo Caves

Kia Ora

We got up early this morning to head over to the caves for our black water rafting. We had no idea really what we were getting into but we were pretty excited!!! The water was a nice cold wake up. People complained about it being really cold last night but to be honest it was just like a cold summer morning jump in a lake. We jumped off a couple little waterfalls on tubes and walked through a cave. We stopped to look and learn about Glow worms (glow maggots) and then floated in a big line along the cave in the dark looking at all the amazing glow worms every where. We then had to get our way through the cave in the pitch dark. It was soooo cool, so glad I did it. We got some photos from it as well.

This afternoon we arrived in Taupo. It is big for sky diving and bungy jumping. If we have enough money at the end of our trip we will do it on the way back through. EEEKKK! I will have to be pushed out of the plane! We have some guys on the tour who are event planners for a big company in England...1830 or something like that and they have planned a huge boat party on Lake Taupo tomorrow with a bbq, fishing and swimming. They are pretty excited, it's nice to see some guys good at planning ;) hahaha.

Tomorrow morning, weather permitting, we will be doing a hike in the area where they filmed Mt. Doom on the Lord of the Rings. I am enjoying the exercise on this trip and the backpacker diet. I hope that I will be able to keep it up when we go back to Australia.

That is all for today. Tune back tomorrow for some more great adventures!
