Cliffs, Cows and Caves

On the road northwards, we stopped at Whitecliffs to admire the view. I used to think of these cliffs as NZ's version of Dover, but it isn't quite, now I've seen both...



Jersey cows aren't that common in the UK, but I guess NZers like their milk creamy!



Waitomo is dairy country, too. Dave was fascinated by the hilly countryside. Very like the pastoral parts of England.





Waitomo itself is riddled with limestone caves. We explored a lovely walk full of limestone carved by the water, and another featuring ancient fossilised oysters!




And a natural limestone bridge:



Here are a couple of Dave's pretty river pics:
