Waitomo Glowworm Cave, Ruakuri Bushwalk

After Hobbiton the tour continued to the Waitomo Glowworm Cave, a cave where thousands of glowworms live. The entry of the cave was not that spectacular - a "standard" limestone cave with some stalagmites and stalaktites. Could be similar in Europe... But then, we entered a boat and were taken through the part of the cave where the glowworms hang at the ceiling. That was beautiful and also fascinating in a way (there are many of them), however had expected that there would be even more. Anyway, it was really decent to see them! Unfortunately, it was forbidden to take pictures in the cave. Before heading home our guide took us on a short walk on the Ruakuri Bushwalk - once again, I am repeating myself, in a nice environment. Then he drove us back to Rotorua. In total, we were driving almost five hoursall over the day, I'd say, but it was worth it! The day ended with some beers with three of my roommates in the bar next door.Read more
