Waitomo NZ (2)

Scooter for sale?

The B&B we booked in Waitomo was run by an old couple, English, migrated to Australia (math teacher if I remember it correctly) and moved to NZ for retirement.  Amazingly beautiful garden, the 8 room establishment extends up to the hills, flowers, grapes, fruits are everywhere.  We had breakfast prepared by Collin - he made this plum marinated which is delicious, I think Jon got himself a number of helps.  English breakfast - Jon's softest spot.  To me, the super hot noodles soup or rice is more like my cup of tea.  Ah again, tea for English...

We went to the cave adventure guided tour.  Emma and Mike took us through the cave.  We first roped down 50 meters into the bottom of the cave, then flying fox over the dark.  Glow worms decorated the peach black cave they look like stars!  Emma and Mike fed us hot chocolates and then pushed us down the 10C water (ok, not push but we have to jump into the water with the tube under our bums), lots of climbing, swimming, eating chocolate.  We all have the 10mm wetsuit on but we still need to keep moving to keep warm.  The only problem is when you need to pee. 

We left Waitomo to meet up with Mart and Sue at Matamata.
