Mangapohue Natural Bridge

About half an hour from Waitomo Village is a natural bridge. To be honest, it was not what I expected. It wasn't like a bridge that you could walk across. Here is what the sign had to say about it: The steep walls of this cliff were probably once the sides of a large cave. As the cave slowly grew, its roof became unstable. Eventually the roof collapsed, turning the cave into a gorge. The natural bridge is the only section of the roof remaining intact. Also at this site further on were the fossilized remnants of giant oysters, encased in rocks. The sign said they were 35 million years old.
