Beautiful old town (Arrowtown), Wanaka, Puzzelworld, Cormwell NZ

This is one of the many places we stopped in at along our South Island trip in New Zealand. Arrowtown is a old settlement town where people used to come to pan for Gold.
It is Beautiful and peaceful here, no hussel or bussel of the city life here. Its only about a 20min drive from Queenstown. Very pretty place.

I took some street pictures as well as phone both pic's. As they reminded me of the London phone booths. I also saw a sculpture that i had to take a pic of also. Very interesting.

We had dinner at the local Pub (New Orleans Hotel) also one night very nice meal here. Become a popular spot for the locals also after 5pm.







Same day we traveled to Wanaka or what matt would say Wanker. Also a pretty place but the day we went very windy cold icy wind at that. I took some of the lake here. Was choppy as you can see. We had lunch at the one of many pubs which was open, also a lovely luch here. I couldn't go past the sign on the back of the door in the ladies toliet that i had to take a picture of. It said
Here's to a long life and a merry one. Quick death and an easy one. Pretty girl and an Honest one. Cold beer - and another one!

We also discovered the wonders of Puzzelworld - where you have to use your brains..... Every where here.They have illusion room where you feel as if your being watched from every angle by faces, 3D pictures on walls that move, puzzels you can solve yourself and many other things. Not forgetting the famous Leaning Tower of Wanaka.


On way back we stopped in on Cromwell place known for it's fruit and veggies - best grown here. This where i took a picture of the petrol prices which were only at 2.20 a litre 2 weeks before we came over. We'd cry poor if that happened to us here in Australia. While we were there it staied at 1.98 for petrol never went up or down staied the same.
