NZ 'Wild Hogs' Expedition - Photos and a Few Words
Well I will keep the words brief on this one. Just a few words to say everyone is still with us, the caving was great and challenging, rafting the Tongariro followed by beer and a traditional maori Puia (food steamed with geothermal steam) was a sweet day out, and even the rain/snow affected hike up Mt Ngaruhoe was 'character building'. Here are a few images thanks to Alvin and Mike from the first days in Auckland and Waiheke Island, plus some cool shots from caving, abseiling and camping near Waitomo.
On to Rotorua tomorrow for some more excitement, more to come soon.
