Set off for Waitomo and half an hour into the journey Sue says 'Would you like to see some AUstrian art and take a toilet break' Well in Kawakawa the toilets are quite unique. An AUstrian artist named Junderwasser decided to create an unusual styled toilet - pics will eventually be on the skydrive. It's a bit like a coffee place in Austria that Ceri and I stopped at a couple of years ago.
We also passed a Maori cemetary which is set on a hillside - there is a hierarchy in where you're buried. If you're a high achiever it's at the top of the hill if not....
At night I understand it's an incredible sight too as there are solar lights that shine on the hill in the evening.
Everywhere on route is so green - there are rolling hills for miles and miles with plenty of cattle and sheep. The pink blossom that lines the roads remind me of back home in England.
When we arrived at the backpackers in Waitomo, we dumped our stuff and then set of for the Gloworm caves. Another unusual sight in the caves of thousands of gloworms hanging from the ceiling which looked just like fairy lights. Sorry - no pics as you're not allowed to take any photos in the caves.
That's all for today folks - more tomorrow
Love Sue.
