Wow! Today we went to the Waitomo Caves to check out the glowing maggots.....that's what they really are, not so pretty, eh? Anyway, for a landlubber like myself, who hates water in the face, it was a rather daunting experience. You want me to jump off a waterfall backwards???? Errin, bless her heart, was so supportive and told me I could do it....well, she was right. We had an absolutely fantastic time. The caves were amazing - floating down in the dark, looking at the glow worms was an amazing experience that we will never forget. Our group consisted of couples from South America, Germany, Holland, Switzerland, two Irish girls and us. A good group and we had lots of fun. And finally we met some cute Kiwi guys - our guides!
And that is about it for today. We did some shopping for the next few days - everything closes down here for the next few days....just as it should be. We have decided not to go to Gisborne, but have yet to decide where we will spend Christmas. On a beach, we hope.
Errin and I send out our love and best wishes to all our family and friends. We are thinking of you and will certainly be raising our glasses in your honour on the 25th.
Much love,
J&E
About Me
- Joan & Errin
- Joan and Errin have a weakness....well, a few to be exact but one of the more expensive ones is the fact that we LOVE to travel. We need very little prompting to pack our bags and get on a plane to explore another part of the world.....but this time we have a few things to celebrate. The end of the Winter Games AND Errin turns a milestone this year.....you'll just have to guess which one ;-)!!
