Going underground ...

---

Had a good nights sleep in New Zealands ‘most haunted’. Got up and went to the Waitomo Caves to do the ‘Haggas Honking Holes’ caving experience. Had a fantastic time abseiling down underground waterfalls, scrabbling through small crevice tunnels, climbing back up waterfalls and generally having fun. We saw lots of Glow Worms (up close too), which was amazing, and came out at the end utterly exhausted. Continued on to Lake Rotoaira, where we will be staying in a bach for the next 3 nights. We arrived at the bach to find all the doors and windows open, not entirely sure if it was the right place – but wandered in anyway. The place is nice, but needed a bit of a clean. The beds looked used which was a bit worrying so we wondered over to the owners house to see what the deal was – he seemed like a nice bloke and gave us a Venison steak and Venison minced meat (he had a freezer full of them) from one he’d caught earlier. He also had 2 nice classic cars in his garage (a zodiac and something else) next to a pig carcass that was strung up. Some bacon for breakfast would be nice!! P
