On the way back to Auckland, I wanted to drop by Waitomo to see the famous glowworm caves. It was really cold and I was really feeling miserable.
However I was impressed by the limestone caves were really impressive. The limestone was formed by the remains of marine animals, then boosted to the surface by tectonic activity. Can you imagine how old some of these limestone caves must be? Must be millions of years! Towards the end, it was a boat ride to look at the glowworms sticking all aound the cave. This part, I will have to say that our fireflies in Kuala Selangor was better as the flies twinkles! Jack had a wonderful time yodelling away on the boat ride as he could hear his own echo bouncing back from the caves!
For pictures of the glowworm caves, here is the website.
After that, it was off to Auckland and our final day in Auckland was quite relaxing. First we off for some ice-cream at Mission Bay - the infamous Movenpick ice-cream. Actually I found ice-cream in New Zealand pretty good - not as sweet as back in KL. Since this was by the beachside, we had a walk down the beach. Jack had a wonderful time chasing birds! And after that we took a ride around Auckland, see the local museum and visited the Winter Garden.
And we were all packed up then to return home the following day!
