New Zealand is living up to its hype as a unique and amazing natural paradise. This week we take a blacked out boat ride through the enchanting glow worm filled Waitomo Caves where we are even lucky enough to be blessed with some "Cave Tears" for luck. Continuing down the west coast we hike all over the megalithic Mount Taranaki and its enchanting Goblin Forest. We end the episode in Wellington then taking in the gorgeous views from the famous Interislander Ferry to Picton on the South Island.

Well they do know how to make breakfast in New Zealand.
We are cave.
Awesome.
See glowworms.
It's supposed to be one of the best things to do on the North Island.
So I thought they didn't allow photography just because of the worms or something,
but no it's much cooler.
This is kapu.
It's a sacred burial ground and so no photography is allowed inside
and we are going to abide by that 100 percent.
So we will see you all after this awesome tour.
Wow that was amazing.
We can take photos and video now or it wouldn't be.
Actually I got some glowworms.
This is so cool.
Now has England received a drop of the water?
Yes.
Now we consider that to be good luck.
Oh great.
So yeah if you go home and win the lottery make sure you ring me okay.
That might not be the goblin for us but holy cow.
Even though we couldn't take video it kind of looked like that
but way more amazinger.
Holy epic landscapes.
This entire coastline is just amazing.
Just another testament to the imminent beauty of New Zealand.
Just driving around and we see this.
Just gorgeous stuff everywhere.
Wow we are up at the base of Mount Taranaki
and we're going to walk through the goblin forest
but first check out this gorgeous place.
Oh this is amazing.
It's breathtaking.
You're very in tune with directions.
These hiking trails are more like trench warfare.
This is the Kamahi track also known as the goblin forest.
I think you can see why.
Awesome.
Seriously look at that.
That's intense.
Wow what a gorgeous view.
Red rover red rover come on over.
But we didn't know what the Wangoro hut was
but we hiked out here and found it
and apparently it is an emergency hut.
Check this out.
It's got bunks and everything.
Kate wants to move in.
I do.
More exploring to do.
We made it.
What a gorgeous hike.
Must do.
Must to do.
All right we haven't been showing you a lot of our rooms.
Hotels.com had a special of the day.
We kind of got lucky.
Check out this palace.
In room hot tub.
All right dinner time.
If you're ever in Whanganui on the North Island of New Zealand
stay at this place.
They rock.
Wild windy and wonderful Wellington.
Wandering around.
That's all the W's I have for today.
We had a lot of fun in Wellington.
We pretty much just wandered around the city.
We're getting ready to take off in that big beautiful ferry over to the South Island.
With the Inner Islander Ferry over to Picton from Wellington.
It's like a cruise ship.
There's two movie theaters on board and food and the view is just amazing.
