I've left Raglan :( It's like a cooler San Diego. Quiet surfer town...small cafes, beaches, nice (and good looking) folks...just an all around awesome place. I have a feeling i'll be back.
Kessy (my German friend I'm traveling around with) and I went to Waitomo Caves the other day. We both slept in my one person tent, which was a bit cozy, considering I put the tent on a hill and she kept on rolling on top of mE!! But, it was beautiful there (yet a bit on the boring side)...but we were there for one reason and one reason alone...to go CAVING! So the next morning, we wake up VERY early to head on over to Waitomo Adventures for a 10 am blast off. The adventure we partook in was called Haggas Honking Holes...why? I have NO idea...i think some guy by the name of Haggas discovered the cave. Anywho...for four long and cold hours we abseiled down three waterfalls, going further and further underground. Then we turned off our headlamps and looked up to see a spectacular array of glowworms right above our heads. To get back up and out of the cave, we had to rock climb up up up. My specialty!
After our little adventure, we took a bus to Taupo. Unfortunately, this is the moment where Kessy and I fall sick; she a sore throat, I a bad headcold...but this will not deter us!!!! It was quiet fortunate for us that today is election day in the US, because we needed our rest. So, with the wonderful view of Taupo lake resting in front of us, we watched the election unfold, and to our unending happiness, discover OBAMA IS OUR NEXT PRESIDENT!!!! ahhhh what a day...What...a...day...
