Well Dave is fully fed and watered so i reckon i can risk making an entry. Where was i? oh yes, Rotorua.
We went on a day trip to Waitomo, which has a massive underground cave system. I thought it would be perfectly pleasant to go on a guided walk through them, or something equally unrisky, but no, David insisted that we wanted to do something called Black Water Rafting. It sounded interesting so we signed up. It wasn't until we got there that i found out it involved a 40 metre (13ish storeys) abseil into the caves! I am absolutely terrified of abseiling, I remember trying to it once with hannah's dad about two metres from the ground when i was eleven, or at least i remember totally freaking out.
However, we'd paid, so i girded myself. It was horiffic, my heart was coming out of my throat the whole way down, but i was muchly proud of myself for managing it. Was very pleased to find out Davey hated it more than i did, felt i'd got my own back a little! We wandered through the dark
