Waitomo caves

---

No reports from Plamerston North. Just a town for a stop over, same can be said of Turangi, although as the trout capital of the world I did want to wet a line. Had a nice meal (overpriced) in the fishing lodge restaurant. We did not stay here as the rate is $400 per night (£220 for a bed only).

Next day was caving in Waitomo which is famous for limestone caves, glow worms and stalagmites /ctites. 3 caves and each one different which we covered over two days. 2 were very commercial but still enjoyable and the third was our own private tour, well there were actually 3 of us and a guide.

Someone said I should be wearing waterproofs!

Bat man
God it's cold and damp in here

Is it mites or tites
Growing for 3 million years, I hope I look this good.

Limestone sculptures
Just like back home when Sue leaves the candle burning.

Glow worm cave
The exit by boat but we were not allowed photos inside. We have the memories.
