It was about an hour drive from Hamilton to the Waitomo Caves turnoff. We stopped briefly at the I-site where Dad got some photos of some tui birds that were flitting around in the trees and fighting each other. Further along the road, we had a great view of the snow covered central island mountains - Tongariro, Ngaruahoe and Ruapehu where I have been a few times this year. I'm really glad my Aunty and I managed to do the Tongariro crossing when we did, as it is currently closed due to a volcanic eruption.
