Arrowtown

Saturday we headed to Queenstown's farmers market. Although it was beautiful when we arrived, the earlier rain had caused most of the farmers not to show.

Since we had no other plans we decided to head to nearby Arrowtown. Arrowtown is a well preserved historic gold mining town, only about 15 minutes from Queenstown. It's very tiny, and very cute, unfortunately it's also very touristed. The small main street was packed with tourists at noon (packed by New Zealand standards anyway), but when we returned at 530 for dinner, most shops were closed and nearly all tourists were gone.

Arrowtown has quite a few good restaurants, and I suspect we'll be back again.
