Waitomo Caves, New Zealand

Kiwis und Glühwürmchen

Unser erster Halt war heute beim Kiwi-Haus in Otorohanga. Sehen konnten wir zwei lebende Kiwis (im künstlichen Dunkel). Fotografieren konnte man sie aber nicht. Danach ging es weiter noch Waitomo zu den Waitomo Caves. Eine beeindruckende Höhlenwelt aus Stalagmiten und -titen...

Waitomo

Dec. 16th, 2009 WAITOMO CAVES (40km, 216km total) – Somehow Shad and I have managed to lose each other. Our ride today wasn't long, but the hills outside of Pirongia were massive. He took the lead and kept it. A few of the hills were just too much for me and once I was forced to walk. We hit...

Days 7-9

North Island Day 4: The Bet

The trouble with free campsites is that sometimes they attract people who want to stay up all night and make noise which is fine unless me and my mates aren't the ones making the noise. Last night it was a group of Kiwi kids who, at one point at about 1am, drove a car through the busy site...

Glow Worms Galore

Another whirlwind of a journey and we found ourselves in Waitomo - a part of the country famous for its cave sites and glow-worms grottos. When we arrived here, it reminded us a lot of Milford Sounds, in the sense that there really is nothing here apart from the land around you and unless you...
