Discover the Enchanting Blue Glowworm Caves of Waitomo

In Waitomo, New Zealand, the glowworm caves are a unique spectacle, as the glowworms here emit a rare blue light, unlike the green glow seen in other parts of the world. Inside the caves, photography, noise, and any form of light are strictly prohibited. Deep underground, a small boat drifts silently on a dark river, revealing a 'galaxy' of glowworms that have illuminated the cave for thousands of years. The icy blue clusters resemble a sky full of stars or snow lotuses blooming on the cliff tops.

The hanging glowworm threads form a dense curtain, adorned with tiny droplets of mist, creating a scene reminiscent of a beaded curtain or crystal harp strings. The boatman pulls the boat along a pre-laid cable, and the passengers hold their breath in the darkness, careful not to disturb the isolated glowworms. However, my mind wandered, and I wondered if anyone might start snoring in the silence...

This thought almost made me laugh uncontrollably. The more I tried not to laugh, the harder it became to hold it in. At that moment, a fellow passenger whispered, 'What if I need to fart?' (Only stock photos available)
