Spellbound glow worm cave tour in waitomo, New Zealand 🇳🇿 It’s was a once in a life time experience to see the very impressive glowworm display. Any pictures taken will not do justice to such a breath taking spectacle. We had to let our eyes adapt to the darkness and we were rewarded with the soft glow of many of thousands of glowworms(technically maggots) There are enough glow worms to gently light up an entire cave and reveal all that the cave has to offer. Then we walked through a lovely succession of chambers to find speleothems, fossil remains of extinct moa(huge ostrich like bird extinct about 700 years ago)and cathedrals filled with natural light, softly falling to the floor. Even though some parts where in complete dark(not even the light from the glow worms) our guide Norm made sure we where safe and he was extremely knowledgeable and super friendly, there is a element of relaxation on the tour that made it even more enjoyable. 

Explore this world, live the life that you were made for.

Wild bananas contain large seeds. Our commercial bananas (which are, for the most part, the Cavendish variety) have been specially bred so that they are seedless triploids (with three sets of genes, instead of just two) that do not form mature seeds (genetic engineering). If you’ve noticed little black dots in the middle of the banana, you’ve discovered immature seeds that won’t develop, which happens with triploids.

I, too, sing America. I am the darker brother. They send me to eat in the kitchen When company comes, But I laugh, And eat well, And grow strong. Tomorrow, I’ll be at the table When company comes. Nobody’ll dare Say to me, ‘Eat in the kitchen,’ Then. Besides, They’ll see how beautiful I am And be ashamed— I, too, am America.
