I saw these hills and just had to run up them.

So while the rest o' the group took a break for hot chocolate and cookies, I ran up the hill.

A rusty old shed.

This cave entrance was boarded up. Guess it's no longer safe.

This one, however, is aok.

And in we go.

Looking out from inside, it feels like we were swallowed by a giant rock monster.

Bones. Probably not human....... probably.

Stalactites.

Stalaaaaaaaaaaaactiiiiiiiiiiiiites!

Hmm, maybe they should've let us keep those hard hats. Some o' these stalactites could easily nail me.

Loved watching the droplets ripple effect in this cave pool.

An opening in the ceiling of the cave showed us how some animals would accidentally fall in. Ouch.

And there's one of the animals.

Hey look, it's a Weta! I love your workshop!

Alright, time to head back out into the sun.

And what a sunny day it was.

Fantastic views everywhere we drove.

As fantastic as these views were, they couldn't compare what was to come next.

Off in the distance, we saw the biggest challenge and the most amazing experience of our entire trip,
which would begin around 4am the following morning: The Tongariro Alpine Crossing!

There's still plenty more from the
New Zealand Road Trip to see!
