Waitomo


Our final stop off on the way back to Auckland was at Waitomo. Here we called into the Shearing Shed - famous for its angora rabbits.






As their fur grows so fast, they have to be shorn every 3 months, which they do by tying them into what looks like a rotating spit! This is the before shot.





Whilst this is the finished, much smaller rabbit!






We then went to the glow worm caves, for which Waitomo is most famous. No photos allowed so this is taken off the internet to give an idea of what you see - the end of which is a boat trip into the glow worm cave.
