NZ: CAVING!!!
Our guide was a really funny Kiwi boy who spent the whole time making fun of the Aussies that were there and generally just answering in ways that were funny, yet unnerving. (Ex. Lara Fuller: So, just out of curiosity, how long have you been doing this? Kiwi Boy: *Checks watch* About twenty minutes. *Silence*)
Included in this outing was a warm muffin upon return, along with your choice of alcoholic beverage, both to be enjoyed with your fellow cavers in a real sketchy hot tub.
Afterwards I wondered how we were able to participate in this activity without some sort of licensing or training - it was no joke. Then my mom informed me that there is no such thing as liability insurance in New Zealand, and a lot of things got a lot clearer.
