This past weekend, we went to see famous glowworms in Waitomo caves, about 3 hours drive south of Auckland, New Zealand. I had never been in a real cave before and needless to say, I was amazed. The cave was 4.5 million years old and made up of limestone. It had amazing shapes and formations. Unfortunately, no photography of any kind was permitted which is why I don't have any pictures of glowworms or limestone formations.
The image above is taken from the internet, but literally that is how amazing it looks inside. It's one of the most popular attractions among tourists that come to New Zealand. I will leave the science behind glow produced by these worms for you to figure out. It's really not that hard. It's just some kind of bio-luminescence. We did not go to black water rafting even though it would have been really cool. You gotta watch your spending!

There was a scenic reserve too where we took a stroll and I got nice images. I figured I could actually post at least one picture per blog. New Zealand is a heaven for photographers. You can get some really awesome pictures. I'm glad I bought by DSLR camera before this trip.
