We were just on time to see the sleepy faces of the young people traveling with the Magic bus, who are visiting this lake as well. Sometimes we just see too many other tourists.

This is the 26th day of my holiday, so I've had 50% of my sabbatical. It feels like I'm here for much longer, everything seems so familiar. But I'm also so glad that after the end of the group tour (next Friday) I will have 2,5 more weeks on my own. I think I prefer to travel in my own pace and I'm looking forward to stay somewhere for a longer time, 3,4 days and get an idea of daily life of normal New Zealand people. I'm just afraid that the eleventh waterfall, lake or gorgeous mountain won't excite me as much as the first ten. So it's no problem to travel by public transport without the detours for picture stops, but just enjoy what I see.
I feel quite tired after a long day in the bus and I need to think really hard about all the stops today. Maybe the highlight was that the bus was okay, so no unnecessary stops, like yesterday and the day before ;). We just suffer from the sandflies and do some funny dances to scratch our legs and arms. Somehow they like to suck our blood from our feet, so my feet are really itchy.
One guy of the group has done a bungy jump, close to Queenstown. I even dared to look when he jumped and had a little dip in the water. His excitement was great to see, like he conquered some fear. But it really isn't contagious for me, I just can't see the fun of it.
