Waitomo and the glowworm caves
... of me again meaning I was stuck with having to do it in the pitch black aswell! Again the countdown began at 3, which was all too quick for my liking, and then off I went and it was actually exactly the same as the first one where we had our light on - mainly because my eyes were closed so tightly! After that we were treated to a chocolate biscuit under ground and then switched all our lights off, linked to each other by gripping the person behinds ankles and ...
Waitomo Caves
... pretty intense. Once we got back we had hot showers and soup. The group we had was fun and the guides were a blast which made it very enjoyable.

Black water rafting in Waitomo.
... This was the Agridome. We were going to a farm
demo. It was more of a sheep demo then anything. A number of
different breeds were brought out and we saw these, plus a cow and
some ducks. Later the sheep dogs came out. The sheep part of the show
finished and everyone went outside and saw the sheep dogs in action.
Then it was back on the bus.
