Day 35. Pohara Beach. Mites up, Tites down.

In an attempt to beat the rain we decided to go subterrainean and visit the Ngarua Caves. A futile attempt as it happens, with the overnight rain seeping through the cave roof onto our hard hats.



Interesting 40 minute guided tour. My favourite bit being when they turned out all the lanterns to show how dark things will be if Newcastle really do get relegated.

The bearded weirdy who took the tour reckoned the cave was used as the set for Gollum's bachelor pad in Lord of the Rings. A bit damp for our liking but each to his own.

Incessant rain slowly beginning to have worrying psychological consequences. Spent the afternoon and evening in the van playing books and reading our scrabble.
