The reason we headed to Waitomo was for their caves, other than that there really is nothing there, when we say nothing we really mean it, apart from the tourist office there was not even a small shop to be seen. We dropped our bags to our hostel
and organised the "labyrinth" Black Water Rafting. Black Water Rafting is where you walk and "tube" (place your bum on top of the inside of a car tyre) inside a cave full of glowworms. It was a little scary jumping backwards off a 2.5 meter drop holding a tyre to your bum!!! but
otherwise nothing too amazing. Orla was impressed with the glow worms (which looked lovely) until the guide explained that the bit that glowed was really the glowworm poo!!! (nice!!!).
