Ngarua Cave - Nelson

A limestone cave under the marble mountain known as Takaka Hill.

Private land which the owner gives tours through, my companions were a lovely Dutch couple. Can't remember their names but their son was a dentist in Amstredam.

Helmets on because of low hanging stalactites, apart from the owner

People are apparently fascinated by this particular area called Cathedral Cave . people get married here !! and they have had opera singing here because of the great acoustics

Hi .. you are so fortunate to have so much history in your country, The maori have only been here 700 years or so ... and there were not many of them, Europeans only started migrating properly in the mid 1800's ... so we have no old architecture or history really, we have to rely on nature as a drawcard

I will be in Greece next year for a week or so .. looking forward to it :-)0
