Waitomo and Rotorua

---

Hey!
We have almost made it to Auckland! We went to the Waitomo caves yesterday and black water rafted in rubber rings through the caves lit by glow worms, that are infact maggots poo! It was really pretty and we had good fun navigating our way out in the dark! We then got to Rotorua and visited the hot springs last night, oddly you get used to the smell of rotting egg! It was lovely to relax after a couple of weeks of being on the go everyday! Today we have wondered around the thermal areas of Rotorua and relaxed before heading to Auckland tomorrow.

It still doesn't feel like Christmas here which is strange considering it's a week today! Trying on bikinis singing to Christmas carols is a surreal feeling!

Love to you all,
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Love,
Anastasia and Roseanna

Sounds fantastic
Hi , It sounds fantastic. We are battling with the weather here. Snow again today. Grandad coming up tomorrow, hopefully. Went to see Beauty and the Beast at the National Theatre in london today with Ben and Anne-Marie - wonderful. We may even get another white christmas here in Harpenden (last year we went sledging on christmas day). Here's wishing you both a very happy christmas. What's on the christmas menu there?
