Our day in Waitomo yesterday went nothing like planned. We left our hostel at 6:30am and walked about 20 minutes into town to catch our bus to Waitomo. Walking with an extra 43lbs strapped to my back was not pleasant and I was exhausted by the time I got to bus station and more than happy to just sit for the next three hours. Our bus driver man was amazing and told us all about the history of Auckland and New Zealand. Being the history freak I am, I absolutely loved it! I feel like when I am a little more ancient I am going to love those geriatric bus tours (What I actually mean is, I know Im going to because I already do) ! I was happy to leave the city behind and see rolling green fields with mostly cows, but some sheep as well. That was about the only excitement of my day because I decided to ruin the rest of the day by getting the stomach flu! Once we got to Waitomo, Steph took care of me and checked us into our hostel and put me to bed. I managed to get a few hours sleep throughout the day and Steph bravely ventured to the caves by herself and she loved them. In the evening we played a couple card games (which I won; Winning!) and called it a early night in hopes that I feel better for tomorrow and our adventure to Rotorua and the Zorbs!
After showering this morning I feel pretty great so I am optimistic that today will be a better day and I will be able to venture out side of the hostel. I am so excited to go zorbing, but not even close to as excited as Stephanie is. I think that zorbing is half the reason that she wanted to come on this trip with me.l. What could be more fun!
