Auckland and heading south

After a quick linen change at the Maui office in Auckland and an accidental detour through the city centre, we headed south down Highway 1 to Waitomo, famous for its caves.
Hugo refused wholly and completely to go into the caves, but Michael managed to bribe him with a $10 note which Hugo then negotiated up to $20! The cave visit included a boat trip in the dark to see the thousands and thousands of gloworms. It was really amazing! Bea was utterly in awe and in fact, Hugo has not stopped talking about the trip since!!
We had our first rainfall here, but it didn't seem to deter B and H from using the camp swimming pool.
Next destination Rotorua.....
