Photos: NZ March 2008 - Waitomo

Angora rabbit -- Mallory loved it.
Photos of the boys in some small caves in the Ruakari preserve near Waitomo.


Heidi and Nash walked back from Ruakari to Waitomo -- it took them about an hour, over large hills and through farms.






Mallory, trying and liking fish & chips. We were shocked -- it is the first time she has had fish and she is a very picky eater.




Right by our campground in Waitomo they had a Sports Day which included a "lolly drop" -- which is basically a helicopter flying over the field and dumping out candy. I think Luke is the only one who got a piece.

Here's the whole family geared up and ready to tour the glow worm cave.


After the glow worm cave, we toured a second cave. This second cave had a lot of animal bones in it, including the bones of a cow that had fallen in the cave from a hole in the ground. Apparently it is a big problem in that area -- there is even a Waitomo Animal Rescue Squad -- because there are so many sink holes in the fields and animals frequently fall into them.


The three boys on our drive from Waitomo to Tongariro.
