Yes I did it! I went to see the glowworms in Waitomo. SOmething very special indeed. I can't really send any pics because first of all you can't really take picturs of them, and then second it wouldn't do them justice.
It was pretty amazing, My girlfriend and I picked a good tour opreator and we got quite a long time underneath the worms. They're actually the pupae of a fly. The glowing part is actually their shit, which reacts with Oxygen to make it glow. They are definately weird little creatures.
Anyways tomorrow we're off to Smelly Rotorua.

Auckland...for now
Well I am in Auckland and it's been relaxing. I saw some fireworks last night, it's anniversary day weekend here in Auckland
It was a nice display actually, went on for about 10 minutes.
Other than that I am simply waiting for the next part of the trip to start. My girlfriend is arriving today and we're heading soon to Rotorua, passing through the Waitomo caves. The Waitomo caves are the site of the well known glowworm caves.
After that i'm not sure what we'll do really, it turns out my cousin won't be in Wellington when we were planning so out plans are still fluid and changing.
Hopefully i'll be able to post some more pictures in a few days. They are turning out really well, I took a look a them on a PC this weekend and some of them are just gorgeous.
There should be some postcards on the way to everyone who sent me their address. It takes a while for them to get there, something like 12 days.. so keep your eye on the mailbox.
