Tried feijoa. Good fruit a bit citrus like,skin very bitter. This fruit is just coming into the markets, seasonal.

On the recommendation from Michelle and the top ten things to do in Auckland we headed to the Waitomo caves. Glow worm caves a few hours north of Auckland. All tour buses fully booked so we had to rent a car.

Longish ride to a late breakfast a few miles from the caves, full English one with farm fresh eggs etc.

Interestingly no churches seen during the drive.

Wonderful limestone cave, large stalagmite formations. Walks porous, no reverberation when song done inside. Many famous singers have tried.

Another ball of string. Kiwi house. Many many many birds, many are rescue birds.lots of pics on flickr.

On the way back we got to hear local Fiji newscast. Unpronounceable names.
