Join us as we descend into the enchanting darkness of the Waitomo Glowworm Caves! 🌌 In this episode, Susan and Cort share their adventures exploring the mesmerizing glow of carnivorous worms, navigating pitch-black caverns, and dodging the occasional “earth fart” (yes, you read that right).

From laugh-out-loud moments with seatmates to the eerie acoustics of the Cathedral cave, this day trip had it all. And don’t get us started on the cows that struck a pose for the camera along the way. 🐄

Highlights:

[00:05:30] Coping with Cort’s allergies and Susan’s trusty Benadryl stash.

It’s a mix of awe, hilarity, and a touch of exhaustion as we recount a truly unforgettable day in New Zealand. Ready to geek out with us?
