Well … it’s been some time the past few days. Waitomo has some awesome caving, and the glow worms inhabiting them are a pretty incredible sight. Waitomo itself … as my new friend Billy Black says, “it’s a two-horse town, and one horse has died.”
That adds up to a lot of quiet, fresh air and clothes that reek of musty caves. The drive to Wellington took us past our old friend, Tongariro National Park. It was good to get a final glimpse of Mt. Ngaurahoe again. Lots of cool little towns between there and Wellington. I have a boatload of photos to share, so stick with me.

Hey Justin,
While you’ve been trampsing around NZ I’ve been stuck with a cold in Massachusetts. But I’m glad it sounds like you are having fun. Can’t wait to see your photos.
You have my sympathies for sure! I can’t wait to start posting photos, myself. There’s some incredible scenery down here.
But is it worth it to stay for a night at Waitamo? We are going to ChCh and around perhaps during Easters. Would want to visit Mt. Cook. Shall try comparing Southern Alps with Himalayas which is my home.
I’d say so. It’s peaceful and quiet … and it’s nice to have a shower after a day in the glow worm caves!
Cheers to ya!
