Besides taking cave adventures that sounds crazy to you, the sightseeing around Waitomo area is really beautiful and we spent a a full day driving around Waitomo exploring caves and walks. This is Ruakuri natural tunnel**** walk at Waitomo, an easy half an hour walk..
Had our free cappuccino and muffin at Long Black Cafe@Black Water Rafting company. It was complimentary because our tour yesterday got delayed...
On the way out of Waitomo area, Peter was so excited seeing this highland cattle! Cause he did not see any in Scotland last time =P
Cute donkeyyYY...
Rainy weather creates great photo opportunity too =)
On our way to Lake Taupo, we stopped at this free camp at Whakamaru Reserve. The view is superb! Such beautiful place to camp for free :) we got to know this place through the curious kiwi web. Besides the Department of Conservation (DOC) camp site guide books, we always check if there is free camp from this website as some sites are maintained by the local council instead of DOC.
So much space for the two of us!
Amazing landscape to spend a night here...
Enjoying Morton Estate Pinot Noir
With our beef steak...
It is almost one week since we started our NZ adventures with KiwiZai (aka the VAN). Our KiwiZai is so comfortable, we have a good bed to sleep on each night with warmth! Aahh bliss... If we were to pitch a tent like we used to in Oz, we'll be wet and cold almost everyday. It had been raining frequently these days, typical spring season probably...
