Off to the Waitomo Caves and New Plymouth

March 16, 2019

Today the group headed to the Waitomo Caves for those who had not been there to have a visit. I have seen them, and they are worth a visit, but I did not need to go again. Once the cave visit was complete we had a 3 hour drive to New Plymouth. On the map it does not seem that far but the road is holly, narrow and windy plus we were pulling a trailer. It was a long day but a fruitful one and we are now nestled in bed after a lovely meal with Savy of course.

Monty the lab at our previous motel. He just finished rolling over and was waiting for a belly rub.

Can you see me among the roadside lillies called Naken Ladies.

A gentle reminder nearthe caves that attract many foreign tourists. Interstingly there were tire skid marks on the road heading toward the sign.

Notice the rick formation under which are the famous caves.

I heard an unusual noise while at the lookout and it turned out to be a Zipliner.

Today's ride: 69 km (43 miles)
Total: 534 km (332 miles)
