NEW ZEALAND - Waitamo Caves (4)

21/3/06
Brilliant, today were going on a adventure trip called,'RAP,RAFT AND ROCK' After arriving and gettin into all this special safety gear(wet suits,socks,rousers,grippy gum boots,harnesses and a mining hat with light and battery pack) we drove near and after our briefing we started with a short walk and then abseiled 100ft into mid air which was good scary, then sat in big car tyre inner tubes and floated down the caves and suddenly we could see what we came to see, millions of glow worms! Fantastic,they let off a lovely torquise light to attract little flys ect... We climbed through some very small tight gaps witch looked like u couldnt nearly fit but did. At the end of one of the caves well all switched off our lights and had a hot drink and some chocolate which was really nice and peacefull, it was pitch blach for about 20 mins, really relaxin.
After we headed out of the cave and our final task was a very hard high rock climb, that day was brilliant as was our group of 6 and our guide. After all thet we had another 4 hour drive to Rotorua. (See why weeny fell asleep so early the other night)
