glow little glowworms, glimmer glimmer...

Well we picked up Sam on Tuesday and headed for Waitomo - the center for caving in New Zealand. Man - we are so hardcore, huh?? Sam and I did the Labrynth and Josh and our friend Jessica did the Abyss. The Labrynth is where you climb down into a cave, walk through the caves below, through all the water and danger that lurks below (i.e. fight off huge flesh eating eels!! Well, not so much human flesh, but still...), jump off waterfalls, and tube below the earth's surface while gazing at glowworms - one man nearly had a heart attack and had to be evacuated!! Pretty cool, huh? All Josh and Jessica did were repel down a little cavern (70 meters or so... *yawn*), rock climb along the cave walls, zipline through the caves, climb up silly waterfalls, and then do some tubing (copiers!) BORING!! Actually - they did a lot more of the "hard core" stuff... Sam and I thought it was child's play so we passed. :)

After the caves we were off to Rotorua for the night...

Pictures to come --
