After we left Kawhia we drove another hour to the Waitomo Caves. I do think that Elder Saunders was tempted to treat us all to a trip inside the caves to see the famous Glow worms. He asked them if we could get a family ticket which would save him about $90. He was asked how old the children were so he honestly told them about 20, nope children were from 4-14, sorry Elders no glow worms for you today. We went in search of the Natural bridge about 26km away. It said that the bridge was a 10 minute walk, more like 15, then we carried on around into the bush and back to the car park. That doesn’t sound very exciting but let me tell you it was. The walk to the bridge was on wooden planks and at one point you cross over the gorge on a shaky bridge. Thankfully it was not very long. The view was so pretty and worth the walk. Then as we were walking a little further into the bush I saw two Parrots, yes wild Parrots. See photos as evidence. We also saw other birds that I have yet to identify plus they wouldn’t pose for photos, shame!
