if only I were a glow worm..

Te Anau is a beautiful yet touristy town, our backpackers hostel is right on the lake with a sweet view over the lake and into the mountains. We stayed the past two nights at the hostel there. Our first night there we took a cruise across the lake to see the glow worm caves.. it was worth every penny we spent. The sun was just setting as we went over and the beauty of God’s creation was evident. Upon arriving on the far end of the lake we received a history lesson on glow worms before hiking into the cave for a bit. We then got on smaller boat and in the pitch blackness of the caves we could see millions of little blue glow worms on the top of the cave. It was absolutely incredible. The boat ride back was equally as beautiful, it was freezing cold on the top deck but the clouds and mountains looked black against the redish, yellow glowing sky. The next morning we found a cafe for breakfast and then went on a hike around the one side of the lake again the view was breathtaking.
