Hot, Sunny Day - Finally, I can wear the summer dress that I packed! The majority of the weather on our trip has been cool and I've been wearing long pants and my wind-proof fleece almost every day. At last, I can wear a dress on our honeymoon.
Arrowtown - Reception at our accomodation recommended this cute little place just a 10 minute drive west of Queenstown. It's reminiscent of Steveston Village back home, but smaller. The buildings are historical and have been made into boutique shops and cafes.

Chinese Village - Just a short walk away from central Arrowtown is Chinese Village. In the late 1800s, Chinese moved here in hopes to make a living panning for gold and send money home to their families. They built themselves small houses just big enough for them to sleep. The area is now a heritage site which the NZ goverment maintains.

Bungy Bridge - Queenstown, NZ was the birthplace of bungy jumping. Neither Hubby nor I are interested in bungy jumping, but we're game for taking pictures of people who are. The viewing deck at the bungy bridge made for the perfect place to take photos. At $185 a jump and getting jumpers through every 15 minutes or so, Hubby and I realised these guys must be making a lot of money. Hmmm, if only we could run our own bungy jumping business, LOL.
