Hello followers

An early start to the day with our 30m abseil into the caves where we were swepted away by the raging waters below, due to all the rain.  And Natalie ran to be the first one to abseil in!!!!
Then taken into see the glow worms that are really just maggots!!  Our lardy arse's were squeezed through some very tight holes, and we drifted in our black rafts through the caves, bouncing of the cave walls, risking life and limb, however we did both survive.  Viewed the mud caves and Natalie found every deep hole possible to fall into.  She came out with a cut hand, so much blood!!, buised knee and elbow and did not complian once!!
Me I really did say that saying "I have broken a nail!!".
And to finish we rock climbed 30m back out onto the solid ground above once again.
Awesome expereince the best so far, however it was exhausting.
Travelling down to Napier via Lake Taupo tonite.

  2. Norma and I had a slightly different caving experience. There were some just off a track, we went about 15 foot in, realized we'd have to bend over a bit, thought "nah", then ran out screaming (in case there were spiders).
