Awesome Caving Trip Mar 16, 2008

At first all my friends did it and they said it was cool, but I thought it was still just an expensive touristy thing. Well, it was, but completely worth it. I think I went with the black water rafting company, and did the biggest trip they offer, forget what its called. We went to the entrance, abseiled 200ft or so straight down into the cave, ziplined in complete darkness except for thousands of glowworms, jumped 15ft into an underground river on tubes, rafted down the river looking at glowworms, and hiked up river and over 3 underground waterfalls to get out. I've done a few public and private caving expeditions in my time, but this was by far the best. Totally worth the bug bucks spent.

Saturday was Waitomo Cave day.... I did the rap rock and raft tour which included abseiling, blackwaterrafting, glowworm caves and climbing. It was really really exciting and cool. I enjoyed it so much, especially the climbing! I will definetly do that again! Yesterday, I made my way to Auckland… Turangi, Taupo, Rotorua, Waitomo Caves

We depart Rotorua to drive on through the Waikato and King Country to the Waitomo caves. (Wai meaning water, tomo meaning cave) The local caves, hiding under the green Waitomo countryside, are made out of limestone, which is basically very old dead fish (in this case about 40 million years old). We spend the afternoon checking out Marokopa Falls… Kiwi Experience

The next day was all about the Waitomo Caves. It took another 1.5 hours to get there and I signed up for the Lost World Adventure. We had to some a special waiver just in case someone would fall into to many holes in the ground, being eaten by giant eels or drowning… New Zealand & Beijing
