11/8 Gold Mine & Glow Worm Cave, Coromandel Peninsula, New Zealand

November 8, 2014
Gold Mine & Glow Worm Cave
Coromandel, New Zealand


We were pretty settled into the hotel when I read at the end of the hotel brochure under
"Features include:
     22 luxurious units...
     Scenic bush walk 
     Gold mine & glow worm cave"

So we pulled on the complimentary rubber wading boots and set out to explore the cave


The mud floor wasn't too daunting to begin with...


But after a while it was pretty horrifying...


This isn't too bad.  We should venture further!


I'm stuck in this stuff!


How many accommodations have you had that provide wading boots?  This is New Zealand, mate!


OK honey.  I love you, but this is as far as I go.


Return trip


We are out!  We didn't see any glow,worms, but it was an excellent adventure :)


Time to head back to the hotel for mud removal 


But not before some "we were there" photos :)


My sweetie with a very big anchor!


And the boots are hung out to dry for the next adventurers...
