NZ Day 4

New Zealand Day 4... not many nice pictures even though I spent quite some time taking them in the evening...^I went bungy jumping! Whyyy did I not pose properly. T_T (This photo is taken by the bungy people)

^Whyyy didn't I pose properly again?

^Anyhow, I did it. So, another life experience added. =)

^Inside Gibbston Valley vineyard's wine cave... MUCH smaller than I've expected it.

^And you thought seagulls look cute... They have Sith lords' eyes!

^TSS Earnslaw that cruises about Lake Wakatipu. We opted not to take it 'cause... um... not fun?

^Skimming rocks is a fun fun fun past time in NZ. In fact, I came home and read that NZ is actually a very good country to skim rocks in!

^North end of Lake Wakatipu... Glenorchy

^Some pier over there...

^RAW-ed

^RAW-ed 2. My favourite photo of Day 4 I think.

^Family photo on the way back

^I didn't know why this picture turned out to be potrait. But it's teddy shaped rice

^Back to Queenstown

^I have a cleaner shot of the leaf (w/o the shadows). But I guess some shadow makes it less monotonous? No?

^Sunset at Lake Wakatipu

^Looks so bright. Courtesy of RAW

^Some ship. I'm finding it hard to get the whole thing into my camera view...

^More ship! Looking across towards Queenstown.

^Close up

^The sun is getting lower...

^And lower...

That's only day 4... Sheesh...
