After some disapointing weather in the Bay of Islands we decided to head south to see some worms. These are not your garden-variety worms though, these worms create a beautiful light in the dark that look like the stars in the sky. The Waitomo Caves provide the perfect conditions for the glow worms (moist and dark). In the caves we also saw the usual cave attractions including stalactites and stalagmites but the worms definitely took center stage. Sorry, I can’t provide any pictures of these creatures because photography is not allowed in the caves. The worms use their light to attract bugs to eat and any light you shine on them may interfere with dinner, and hey, I don’t want that kind of responsibility.
