Well, a week passed with us still lazying in the hostel so we thought it was about time to get moving again...in very much "the littlest Hobo" fashion. We therefore bought our magic bus pass tickets and before you could say "how bloody much!" we were back on the road, first stop Waitomo caves. Staying in a nice cosy lodge, we took time to visit two caves in the region, the first being Ruakuri Cave. Not a place for those with claustrophobia but it was really beautiful in places, formations, stalactites and mites! Plus Glow worms! Like little blue/green Christmas lights hanging from the ceiling, these little larvae have little glowing butts to attract their meals but to me they were just pretty! We saw more of the little fellows in the second Waitomo glow worm cave where we floated along a small river going through the cave underneath a canopy of the glow worms which was really cool!
Ohhh...we also saw these massive Angora white bunnies not in the cave but in a shearing shop in Waitomo village. 
The bunnies were being sheared of their long fur to make woolly hats and so forth, so we went along to watch their humiliation as they were sheared but left with very fluffy feet and ears! So sweet! Bless their furry woolen socks!
