I’d been looking forward to going in the glowworm caves for ages. It was like seeing the night sky… except they’re technically maggots and the glowing part is their poop. Not so magical when you think of it that way, but insanely beautiful nonetheless.

The collage below isn’t any of my pics, but it was worth it not to worry about camera settings for the glow worm parts and just enjoy the experience. The guide said most people spent more time trying to get the photos right and missed out on the experience itself, I can see how that could happen.

The guide would turn on the lights as we went through the cave, we did entire sections in absolute pitch black. It was scary but fun! It took a lot of playing with settings on my camera, but I got some cool shots out of it.

They put this here to see if the dripping water would make a dent in the top over the years. So far, after careful scrutiny over the years… it’s made it wet.
