After a restless nights sleep unfortunately due to nerves, I know silly me know I didn't have to be nerves at all now!
The next morning it was up early well 7 to catch the 7.45 bus to Waitomo, as I arrived at the bus stop Alex was still waiting . After a quick chat he was off to the Bay of Islands, I waited a little while long but that was good cause got chatting to a few nice people.
Then we were off, I sat next to a girl from Bailimory(sorry about spelling) which I know from the childrens tv program! First stop was Mt Eden with amazing view of the city, coast and close by mountains.
Next we headed off to Waitomo and got there at about half 1 then was straight off to do black water rafting.
First we suited up:
Also had a lovely sexy hat with a light on top and wetsuit boots so definitely wouldn't get cold, we (about 12) got the bus and walked up a track which was quite difficult with a dry wetsuit on.
We were told a little about the caves history,received our rubber rings, safety instructions and then went down into the the cave down some stairs which were practically vertical! When we were in the cave we all had to introduce ourselves which received regular comments from the instructor luckily he didn't pick on me. We now had no lights apart from our head tourches and as we walked now you could start to see the glowworms which looked amazing like hundred of little star. Then experienced a bit of caving with the low sealing and quite a few narrow sections, as we got deeper the water got higher and started to got in my wellys well it wasn't very warm only 15c. The instructor then told us to turn off our lights and listen carefully well I couldn't hear anything then he let off a balloon well it scared the life out of everyone!
We then linked up with everyone by putting your feet up onto the rubber ring in front of you then started to just floated down deeper, the instructor then wanted us to sing because of the acoustics well everyone wasn't so pleased about that so they started to sing the lion king and nearly everyone joined in and we all laughed mostly.
We then stopped and went up to these steps and were told to jump backwards well it was quite a drop down! very funny apart starting to sneeze after cause horrible muddy water was up your nose. We carried on a bit further then reached a slide which was great fun also I remember to hold my nose this time!
We came to the end and climbed up some stairs which was tiring cause the adrenalin rush had gone by then and had a cup of soup then it was off to Rotorua.
Once a few of us arrived at the hostel we checked in and orginally I was in a room full of boys which would have been okay but lucky I ended up moving rooms with Charlotte from magic so we had a 4 bed dorm between two of us! first night anyway.
An hour later me and a few girls went off to the Maori village and concert which was a great evening where we saw the haka, tradional village,buffet meal and very funny driver which will always be remembered.
