The Kiwi Life - New Zealand, Queenstown, Arrowtown (Day 8, 09 Jun - 21 Jun 2011)

Day 8 - Queenstown -> Lake Hayes -> Arrowtown -> Queenstown

In the morning, we ate our breakfast and prepared to continue our journey to Arrowtown.

On the way reaching our destination, we passed by a astonishing beautiful lake - Lake Hayes. Thanks to the beautiful weather, the scenery there really heavenly attracting us to stop by and captured some beautiful photos. This is one of the lake I love among all the lakes in New Zealand.

Finally we had reached our destination - Arrowtown. From our research, we knew that Arrowtown is a historical town and famous for gold mining activities long time ago. However, we don't have much time to explore the gold mining areas, or else maybe we could get some gold as souvenir back to our home? Hahaha...

Nevertheless, we still able to snap many beautiful photos in this town. I feel this town is very unique with the ancient design of the buildings and the things surrounding. In this town, we also had met a cute gal - Taiwanese visitor to help us to capture a group photo together with the special design Arrowtown visitor sightseeing bus and the bus driver! We really appreciated for her help and we also pleased to meet Asian people in this country. During our chit chat, she said she come to New Zealand alone for working holiday, I feel she is very brave to travel alone and proud of her! After a while, her bus is arrived and we gotta say goodbye to her!

In the afternoon, we back to Queenstown and walked around the souvenirs shop! The last day to grab the stuff before we go to our next destination! The last chance to capture more photos in Queenstown before we leave too!
