Arrived in Aukland and were met by our old friends Keiko and Haruhisa. It was so lovely to catch up after 6 years. We were shown the sights of Aukland, did some incredible wine-tasting tours, ate great Japanese food and were treated to a trip to Waitomo Caves. The water levels were a little high for our tubing trip and we had to evacuate the caves early. The heavy rain didn't help!
