Glowworms by fab 5

---

Hi bloggers, we've seen glowworms in nz, the glow on the worm is the maggot poo burning. they have these long string that hang from the ceiling and the little maggots crawl around them, the strings are for catching the prey. After being maggots they turn into caccoons and roll up it the string. a couple of weeks later they turn in to flys and buzz around the cave. the flys die after a couple of days from starvation because they dont havev mouths. we saw them in these dark caves full of water when we went water rafting, black water rafting is where you put your bum in these black doughnut shaped floats and you float down a stream. the glow worms really show up in the dark. Later that week, we went on this long walk over volcanoes and creters, the best bit was was the red creter. we walked for a day , it was really tiring! see freakys blog on it. bye for now, hope school and work is going well.

Gruesome
You are not selling glowworms to me very well - they sound disgusting!! Glad to see you're all having a fab time still although I'd be looking for a bar rather than doing all that walking. Still grey and miserable here. :)

Burning poo????
We're not that keen on the burning poo and maggots here, but thought it would be fascinating (but gross!). We really did like the sound of black water rafting (although Luvable wanted to know if the floats had brakes?) and the pic was fantastic. Glow worms, caves and volcanos all in the space of a few days - brilliant!! Looking forweard to the full Fab 5 slideshow when you get back. Keep smilin' Loopy, Lush and Luvable.

Curious
Just figured out how to use this thing after two months of you being away. The photos and the diaries are excellent. It's a trip of a lifetime. Tom, I've got a question for you, maybe you could do some research into it. I was just curious as to how The Emerald Lakes, The Blue Lake and the Red Crater got their names. Any ideas? Lots of love to all of you and keep on having a whale of a time!!!
