There is but one way to get to see the glowworm caves, and that is by boat across Lake Te Anau. We'd booked it a few days earlier as an afternoon trip.
We filled the morning with a walk down part of the Kepler Track. One of NZ great walks. The couple of hours we did was idyllic. Prime bush, in sunlight. No one around. Still, silent.
Then on to the local wildlife centre, and our first Takahae.
And finally the glowworms: a complex and slightly damp descent into a cave, then a boat trip in pitch darkness to a cave with glowworms on the roof. Very nice, but very processed feel to the trip, and it wasn't cheap.....
The. Weather has improved. We see the hotel has given us a room with a view, and thus afternoon has been shirt sleeves.
