Glowing cave and scary insects!

---

We hiked two hours to our accomodation on a boat, you take this lovely path through the forest with occasional glimpses of the beach! It was quite an adventure leaving the house for a night and carrying our stuff through a forest to stay on a boat.

Had a great laugh with everyone - had dinner and drinks on deck and then the skipper brought us to this cave with glow worms, which is so amazing it really has to be seen. It's like being in a wonderland of fairy lights. The whole idea was completely spoilt though when a torch was flashed at the wall and this big huge spider like creature skuttles up the wall. Apparently the cave is full of these weta things which are pre-historic insects. The giant ones are protected, I thought the one I saw fly up that wall was giant but apparently they come the size of your hand or bigger and bite. They like to hide in mailboxes and wellies and then bite if you have the misfortune or bad sense to stick one of your limbs in on top of them.
