Today Anne and I took three tours of the caves in Waitomo. Waitomo is the Maori phrase for "water entry" because of all the caves that were produced by water slowly eroding limestone. We mostly looked at the famous glow worms which people come from all over the world to see. Also, the glow worm cave makes a wonderful sound chamber. The tour group prior to ours was a youth group from the island of New Calidonia. They sang a wonderful song before finishing their tour. Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures of the glow worms because they can only be seen in darkness. However, I do have a picture of streaming sunlight from a short walk we did between cave tours. Our final tour was rafting on inner tubes in the caves. Anne took a picture of our rafting outfits. We look like something from a Monty Python movie.
