Waitomo, New Zealand

---

G'Day mates:

We have left Rotorua and headed two hours south-west to the Waitomo Caves, where our tour started with us walking down into a limestone cave and viewing the strange formations that surrounded us. First stop was the deep limestone shaft known as the Tomo and then onto the Cathedral cavern, where opera singers and choirs have performed in the past. Then we got into a small boat in an underground river and travelled through the caves where we viewed the beautiful glowworms, which hang from the ceilings of the caves. It looked like a starry night sky.
Then we drove over two hours to Ackland where we are spending the night to catch our early flight to Sydney, Australia then another flight to Hamilton Island.

The blog will be on hold for nine days as we will be sailing a 36 ft sailboat through the Whitsundays...

Want to know where that is? Google Whitsundays.
