Black Water Rafting was crazy! First we repelled down into the cave, then ziplined in pitch black to even deeper down the cave. We jumped off a cliff with our rafts into the black water down below. We floated down the river in the cave in pitch black. The only light was from the glow worms above. After the raft we took a 2 hour hike through the water and deep into the caves. We had to squeeze through tight places and swim at a couple points. Then we had to climb through 3 water falls to get out of the cave. It was a great, but cold experience.

We arrived in Auckland yesterday. It is a nice city but not much to do exspecially when your on a budget. Our hostel is ridiculous though. It is the biggest hostel I have ever been in. It is 10 stories, 2 bars, a full lounge and computer room. There are tons of peopel staying here and it is central to everything in Auckland.

Today we took a bus out to the famous Lion Breweries only to find out that they don't give tours anymore. So we went back to the city and walked around. We took another bust to Mt. Eden an inactive volcano that overlooks the entire city. Great views. It was funny because grass has covered everything and cows are everywhere. It is an interesting contrast of cows and volcano.

We had mexican food for dinner tonight, and now we are gunna hit the bars.
