Yesterday we hit the road again and drove the two hours from Te Anau on to Arrowtown the last location of our trip. We saw the forecast called for a light rain changing into a heavy soaking rain. To our surprise we had sun all morning so we stopped to take a lot of pictures in case that was the last sun we saw for the week.
We drove through expansive valleys ringed with mountains and filled with sheep.
It felt good to arrive back at the beautiful Lake Wakapitu. The Queenstown area really floors me.
For the last three nights of our trip we are staying at a farm stay just fifteen minutes out of Queenstown near the historic town of Arrowtown. I assume we will still drive into Queenstown most days but we were surprised to see that Arrowtown is lovely in its own right. We ate a delicious lunch at Bonjour - where Brian and I got croque madames and the girls gobbled up some crepes.
Arrowtown really shines in the fall and we seemed to have hit it right at the peak. I look forward to seeing more of it over these next days.
