After checking out from Stallag Pauanui (not a fun night (least of all when cars come in at gone midnight and your bedroom window is carpark level so you have blazing headlights and then they pap their horns for good measure), we headed out to Waitomo today stopping at the Matatoki Farm Cheese shop on the Paeroa Highway, where everything is cheese or milk derivatives.

My breakfast consisted of a 6inch bowl of coffee (jumping all day long) and a triple chic brownie, the Mrs had a more sedate tea and muffin.

So we have two nights in the Woodlyn Park stopping in a hobbit house whilst we visit the Waitomo Caves and then on to Hobbiton (the actual Lord of the Rings film set).
