General:

140. Walk from Te Kuiti to Waitomo via Oparure Road & Pehitawa Track with some road walking either side. Not too much going on today…had to cross a few fields full of Bulls but they weren’t fazed.

141. Did the Foot-Whistle glow worm cave tour today which was super cool for a change of pace. A really well done wee tour, with a Kawakawa tea ceremony thrown in. Actually a really good drop! Had a look @ some Moa Bones that they’d discovered in the caves and also had a few at the caving hut I was staying in on display.

Body:

Yeah nah, all righty then

Outlook:

Have heard some pretty negative reports on the upcoming section (Pirongia Forest). It is apparently awfully muddy after rain and in winter.
