Firstly we stopped off to hug a tree lol and we had another stop off where we walked through an old railway tunnel through a cave. It was PITCH dark! We had to form a conga line just to find our way! It was at a place called Karangahake.
We got to our accommodation at about 2pm and I hung around til 4:15 for BLACK WATER RAFTING!! Omg it was so much fun! We had to wear wetsuits which were already wet and mine was gigantic! Wore booties and big old boots, I was so uncomfortable! But you soon forget about that!
The first thing we did was jump backwards into a river in the daylight. This was a tester lol. It was scary but I did it! It was fun! Next thing we were walking into the cave through a small gap. And walking is no easy feat either, the floor is just rocks and uneven. You could step forward in the cave and go down a foot. I fell 3 times! We did quite a lot of walking in the cave.
The trip mainly consited of 3 backward cliff jumps, paddling in the water in our tubes, doing the 'limbo' - going under a really low ceiling pulling along, being an 'eel' with everyone - we all joined up and slowly went along looking at glo worms..and the walking - the drunken stagger!
So so scary there no way you could do it if you were claustrophobic!
After that we warmed up with a hot shower and some soup :) went back to our accommodation for a BBQ dinner. Was so nice, steak and sausage and roast potatoes and different types of salad! Had a few beers then an early night :)
