Today's destination is Arrowtown, back to Queenstown and beyond. An old mining village, which originally had a substantial Chinese population, it bears no resemblance to the dark slate mining villages of my home country of Wales.
This quaint, picturesque village is more reminiscent of New England and is chocolate box picture perfect. They have even reconstructed some of the old huts inhabited by the Chinese alongside the clapboard houses, which are now exclusive gift shops, tea rooms and cafes. We travel on to Lake Wanaka.
