Te Urewera / Camp Kaitawa
There I was in the dark and in damp surroundings. I am covered in warm woolen clothing. foot after foot we trudged up a dimly lit path up a steep hill that seemed like it led to nowhere - big hairy wetas at my feet, spider webs in my hair , sweat running down my face and mud covering my shoes. But wait where can i be ? I was up Lou’s Lookout a beautiful place with a stunning walking track in Te Urewera with some pretty amazing glow worms all around us. It was unbelievable how some glow worms live in caves but most of them live in the bush. When my group got to the top, we saw a jaw dropping glimpse of Te Urewera and Lake Waikaremoana. The big effort was was really worth it in the end.
