Day 16 (Wednesday 10th January 24) Turangi to Waitomo.

 Today we left Turangi for Waitomo, but first we stopped at the town centre for breakfast and to post some of our surplus clothes and bits and pieces home for princely sum of $109 NZDs. Our stuff should arrive home in 3 - 10  business days if all goes well.

We enjoyed our stay at Turangi but next time we will probably be based out of Taupō which is more central to interesting places.

Dumpling the cat.

Our trip to Waitomo was enjoyable, lots of windy roads, going passing around and over mountains and rolling emerald green hills. We saw a lot more sheep padlocks as we travelled north. We stopped for a break at Te Kuiti cafe on the way. While enjoying a drink, an Asian couple came in with pram, but the pram didn’t hold a child but instead “Dumpling” the cat. A cute cat, but potentially unfortunate name! 



Shortly after we arrived in Waitomo, checked into our motel, rested and headed out for an explore. A pleasant day.
