Of all body and mind challenging activities in New Zealand, I chose the nerdiest one - floating in a rubber tube down a cave river (not as adventurous as it sounds) and checking out the glow warms. It was totally worth it though. The glow warms are a sight out of this world - a perfectly arranged colony of florescent green dots on the sealing of the cave. They glow from their butt. The purpose is to attract, capture and eat lost in the cave insects. The insects mistake the glow from the warms with a daylight and get tangled up in the fine sticky strings that are hanging from the warms. Nature at its best.
