How can we possibly explain today. It was incredible!The day started off abseiling (rappeling) 37 meters down a narrow hole in the dark. At one point it was so small you didn`t think you would fit through! Once at the bottom we made our way thru the narrow cave tunnels to an outcrop and then ziplined thru the pitch black caves underneath the glowworms!! Steve went first- the scream said it all-his last words were, seriously what are we doing here! After a quick snack, we jumped off a cliff with an inner tube- a cannonball- 30 feet into the unbelievably cold underground river-like Mispec is a hot tub!! We brisk walked in waist deep water following the river thru the caves. Then we all joined into a tube train and floated in the pitch black under millions of glow worms. They were so cool it is hard to explain them. We stopped at the deepest point in the cave system which was 75 meters below ground and did the funky glow worm picture. After that we climbed waterfalls to the surface thru intricate extremely narrow tunnels. Finished the tour with hot tomato soup and a bagel- unbelievable time!! There was even a girl from Halifax in our tour group. We drove to Taupo thru neat countryside and then had BBQ lamb chops awesomely prepared by sous chefs Steve and Pete.
