Glowworm Cave

This is a post you would have read about on Feb 3, but let‘s discuss why you couldn‘t. We went to Waipu Caves that day and had a fantastic time exploring everything. It was free (most of the caves here demand you buy a ticket) and most importantly, perhaps, you could touch everything (yes, also, unfotunately, the spiders…) - unlike caves I had been to in Europe where you simply cannot put a foot or finger out of line). I had brought my camera, but not the SD-card. I went back and after a solid 15 minutes of tearing the car apart, I found it! Unfortunately, the SD-card was almost full - despite having deleted everything - so I could take a very limited amount of pictures. After our expedition, I found the problem: I‘d have to format the SD. Finally. And format it, I did. That also meant, my not yet transferred cave pictures were gone. ^^ Therefore, we went there again to rectify that mistake. I even bought festive aqua socks because entering the cave means you get wet. You have to wade through water that reaches up to your hip at times. All good fun and I didn‘t mind doing it again. In fact, I loved it. And I felt so well-equipped with my fancy headlights that can either be red or white (in case you were wondering what the red light in one picture was). You cannot see anything if you think you can make it without a light source in there. Cool, huh?
I finally also managed to take pics of the glowworms which hadn‘t worked previously because my SD card was full by then.
Fun fact! Stalactites are hard and slightly sharp. Yes, I have proof. A little bloody cut on my head. I mean, I‘ve tried red hair before. But that‘s in the past! All good, though.Baca lagi
