In the Cave of the Mountain King

A hundred or more feet under the Waikato landscape lies the Waitomo caves. Our two hour morning hike was completely subterranean in the Ruakuri natural tunnel system nearly two miles long, from spiral entry chamber to tunnel, via suspended walkways past Glowworm intense ceilings, stalactites and stalagmites, limestone veils, torrents running under the walkways with wet suited adventurers on large inner tubes swooshed by heading downstream! Altogether a New Zealand experience!
