So continuing , after our Bay of Islands tour, we made the arduous journey back to auckland in the blanket of the night. ( Tiring for the drivers ). As we woke up in the morning, we prepared ourselves for the drive to Waitomo.
Earlier on during the trip, the folks were talking about some motel where we stay in a plane. I didn't think much about it until I actually saw it ... it was really quite cool!
The cockpit of the plane(on the upper floor) was pretty much preserved, with a bed fitted right in. And the bottom was mainly the "rest of the room".
Ok , so on to something more exciting rather just admiring the place we stayed at ... hehe.We came to Waitomo mainly for the Black Water Rafting! It was realllly cooool. For people who are unsure what it's about. It's basically going into a deep cave where there's water running through it and it's really dark. There are plenty of glow worms in it and it was really cool , almost like looking up into a starlit sky while inside the caves. We travelled down the streams in the cave on rubber tubes. Oh yes ... the water was freeeeeeezing ... around 8 degrees if i'm not wrong. O_O
*I like this shot! If u look closely enough at the roof of the cave, u can see the lights from the glow worms.
