The Adventure Underground
So, yesterday in Waitomo, NZ, Scott and I decided to go on an underground caving adventure in the water called the Black Labyrinth. It was a 3 hour tour, most of it under the ground, spent floating on a river in a cave in a wetsuit, with a helmet and a headlamp on. We saw serene caverns with tons of glow worms, turned off all of our headlights and floated down a pitch black stream, and traveresed underground. It was great fun.

That night, we decided to grab dinner at 8pm, not realizing that everything in the small town of Waitomo had closed. We eventually drove about 15 kilometers to another bigger village and managed to get some Chinese takeout. Who knew?
We're in Auckland today and leaving to Phillippines via Bangkok tomorrow. Until then....

OK--I want to do this too! Didn't you have a hamburger with a fried egg and beets? That's what Drew said he had when he was in NZ. Have a good trip to the Philippines. We are tracking you with pleasure.
So this blog is fabulous. The pictures of Fiji are remarkable. What a treat to share your experience with you as you travel the world. Technology is a wonderful thing. And really Scott movie reviews as well...too much!
hoo-oo...scary! What was really going through your mind, Scott, in that dark, dark cave? You're brave. Very fun- I must say! Gotta love ya. P.S. Hi Dana miss you girl!! Your husband has huevos (can I say that on your blog)
Love you guys!
We really are enjoying the updates and adventures of your trip. Post them when you can.
We are hoping for more reports on the cuisine you experienced in New Zealand. Did anyone try these?
Pav: A pie is a savoury hors d'oeuvres pastry thing filled with meat (from whence we can only guess).
Hokey Pokey: Is it like Peanut Brittle?
Marmite or Vegimite – that brown stuff that does not compare to peanut butter. They even have vegemite quiche.
Banana Sandwiches
How was the lamb?
