Hamilton is a small town just over an hour and half south of Auckland. I decided to stop here to take in the Waitomo caves before heading off to Rotorua. The town is pretty quiet but ideal as a base to do the caves (nb. Stop no more than 2 nights here). Theres a bus that leaves at 9.45, which works out ideal. Nightime is pretty quiet. The only livley places is the Sky City and the Cinema in the local mall. However i did get to see the all blacks beat the Aussies in the Rugby (which is always a good thing).
Another strange thing in NZ is their facination they have with Netball. It gets Prime time coverage on TV (they also beat the Aussies that same day). Down side though. I was waiting for the shirt swapping at the end, it just didn't happen.

You've always enjoyed netball, i believe i still have a photo of you somewhere, dressed in a bib and gym skirt, which is a bit odd, the navy blue knickers were a little too much though!! Come to think of it i wonder if all your readers would like to see the picture, now how can i get a copy on this site?????
