Free Cruise Manapouri

November 17, 2013

The owners of Freestone Backpackers also run cruise tours at Lake Manapouri. I was invited to go on a cruise with the owners and their friends on Sunday. The boat was Kerstin's "baby", named after the Pomona Island, the largest island in the centre of Lake Manapouri.



Cora from Germany was the only other "woofer" at Freestone. She babysits the owners' 18 month old daughter Carla in exchange for food and accommodation. She loves riding horses and exercises horses at a nearby farm during her spare time.

Kerstin looking pleased that she found a secluded spot to anchor for the rest of the afternoon


I had no idea they had prepared and brought these food onto the boat



I went for a row while Cora went for a dip

She said it was cold
