Sunshine! 30 degrees and sunny today! So what did we do? Cave exploring, of course. We drove to Waitomo, where we visited the Waitomo Glow Worm Caves and the Ruakuri Cave as well.
The glow worms are really glow maggots and what glows is their poop, but the Waitomo Glow Maggot Poop Caves apparently was nixed as a name by the marketing people. They are fascinating, however. The cave is in complete darkness and the ceiling sparkles like thousands of stars. Unique. Just keep your mouth closed.
We travelled to Rotorua at the end of the day. It's in a geothermally active area, and as such, smells really bad. Sulphur. Apparently all of the recent rains magnify the smell. Perfect. We're told that you get used to it after a couple of days. That seems unlikely.
We've added a photo link here.
