So news of the approach of Cyclone Lusi convinced us to seek shelter, that is, more shelter than our tent, and so we drove inland to Waimoto Caves, the glow-worm capital of Earth, and its AYH hostel. We got the last room available, a double,
en suite. Pretty fancy for us. But before the cyclone's projected landfall (or by-pass, as it turned out), we explored some of the area's other eminent attractions. Perhaps foremost among these is Woodlyn Park, one of the world's ten most unusual motels, so they said, where you can spend the night in a) a railroad car, b) a ship, c) an airplane, or d) a Hobbit hole. I swear I am not making this up. If none of these suit, you can always attend the Kiwi Culture Show. Or simply buy the place...

| Not making this up |
 |
| Really |
 |
| The RR car |
 |
| The aeroplane |
 |
| The boat |
 |
| The Hobbit Hole; two suites; each suite is $285 per night, for two |
 |
| Dang, we missed the show |
 |
| Not surprisingly... |
 |
| But another unforgettable experience |
