Caving with the eels

So we went to Waitomo near the west coast in the north island, and all of us went caving. There was three choices, you could choose a dry cave even though there was water in it, it consisted of abseiling in and ziplining in the dark through the cave. The others were a tubing one, which was a water cave and the other one was the most physically challening cave that was both wet and dry with rockclimbing and small spaces. I choose to do the tubing cave it was called Tumu Tumu Toobing, and the profile picture is the one from it.

Although it was called toobing, it consisted a total of about 5 minutes of the 3 hours of tubing. It was more like the 3rd one. We also had to do a lot of swimming in temperatures as cold as lake superior, thank god we had a wet suit and gum boots(rain boots that everyone wears around campus). But most of it was trying to dodge rocks on the surface and then falling to the floor of the water because you weren't sure where you were stepping. But then came the glow worms.

The glow worms were something to look at, we turned off our lights and they looked like stars in the sky, they were beautiful to look at then we learned the reason why the glow is because of their poop.

We then swam with the white eel, one of the instructor said they saw it.

At the End was very trying after 3-3.5 hours of climbing, trying to dodge sprained ankle alley, concussion way and the supertight wetsuits. Although those wetsuits are very complementary compared to marching band uniforms!
