Saturday dawned just a little too early for some of us. We decided to head back to Auckland, and then use Sunday to drive south a bit to do some caving and blackwater rafting in these cool caves filled with glowworms. Nothing too eventful happened, actually. Got a late start, due to the late night we had on Friday. Went into town and the chef at Lee and Dave's restaurant cooked our pipis for us - delicious! We did some scenic, but very slow, driving, saw a really old, really large kauri tree, and stopped for a spontaneous swim at a lovely beach on the side of the road. Made it back into the city about 10 or so, too late to catch the Symphony in the park we were hoping to see, but early enough to get up the next morning for our drive down to Waitomo.
Which, unfortunately, won't get its own blog post, because the next morning when we climbed into the van, it wouldn't start. Roadside assistance would have taken a couple of hours, too late for us to make it to Waitomo on time, so no luck. Hopefully we get down there eventually!
