After sorting out our tours for the next few days to Milford Sound, Doubtful Sound we head off to check out the Glow Worm caves that are on the other side of Lake Te Anau. I am a bit sceptical about this and think it will be a bit rubbish but it turns out to be pretty good. We venture in about 300 metres in the cave seeing a couple of waterfalls and a whirlpool, then we get into a boat and head in to the cave itself. It is pitch black except for thousands of tiny bright blue pin pricks of light from the glow worms. It is like looking up into the starry sky.
For more info, glow worm fans, these are the boys.
