Well, Glenn is officially 24! We are in Waitomo and yesterday we went Black Water rafting for his birthday and we both had a blast! We didn't quite know what to expect, we geared up in wetsuits, booties, helmet with light and rubber boots. We then drove out to a cave and went under ground. You carry a black inner tube with you and you weave through the caves over the rocks under very low cliffs and jump backwards, yes backwards off water falls in the pitch black. The only light is the light on your helmet and the glow worms above. We were 65m under ground and it was so cool. We even saw eels! ewwwww!
In Roturua we went to Thermal wonderland, which is hot spots and pools, geisers and mud pools. Lets just say Roturua will never win any contests for best smelling town. It stank!!! Its hard to believe that we actually paid $50 dollars a person to look at stink tanks!! It was well worth it though we had fun. At night we went to a place called the Polynisian spa. It is a natural hot spring area with beautiful lookouts over the lake from 27 different pools that range from 35 to 42 degrees!! I can honestly say it was quite relaxing.
Today we are leaving Waitomo to Auckland and then after Auckland we are headed up to the Bay of Islands for a Sailing trip before we fly out of Auckland on the 27th. We can definitly say we have seen and done lots of new things on this trip. I cant believe the month is almost over. We are well and hope everyone has a wonderful Easter. Love you all,
Love Jen and Glenn
