waitomo caves 2

There was just too many pictures to put all in one post.

Here are some more of colin and I caving and crawling in tight spaces.

The only other person besides Colin, that could crawl through this tunnel was the tiny indian guy.  Way to go Colin… I got stuck.

The big race.  We all started in a straight line and had a race upstream in 4ft water.  The prize – a cadbury chocolate bar.  That being said, Colin was all in!  When the whistle was blown, the two boys that were on my sides, jumped ahead and showered me with water from their tubes and feet.  So i am in the back with my foot up in the air struggling to catch up… thanks boys…

Colin is no longer even in the picture because he was so far ahead.  I am in last place here – but, the two guys that were 3rd and 4th stoppped because someone lost their boot.  So while they were trying to pick it up and figure out who’s it was, I snuck into 3rd place!

Here’s the big winner – you can’t even see any of us behind him… I’d say Colin’s pretty serious about his chocolate!

The group again.

To end the trip, we had to come out where we entered.  This is where the rock climbing came in.  The cool part was, it was almost 7pm and pitch black outside.  The sun had gone down so we climbed up at night – and you could see heaps of glow worms all the way up.  It was an amazing time and something i won’t ever forget!
