A sabaath it is!

Day 11- Honeymoon

A lazy day it was going to be, as our sailing escapade was cancelled due to the extreme cold weather and drizzles. Instead we drove to Arrowtown (20 mins from Queenstown). This small town set in a valley is a great getaway from the hustle and bustle of Queeny, as the locals would call it. Only one two main rows of old heritage shop houses, it’s enough to keep you busy with cafes, bakeries, library, book shops and other nick knacks to tease the eye.

Bought ourselves some pie and sweets from Arrowtown Bakery and headed to Wanaka. The drive was long and windy, climbing several hills and finally dipping into a spectacular view – Lake Wanaka and accompanying silhouettes of mountains. Checked into Purple Cow Backpackers and quite literally spent the entire afternoon watching DVD and snuggling to nap. I suppose these are privileges that honeymooners should not forgo!

Later part of the afternoon left us strolling by Lake Wanaka and simply enjoying each other and the company of a beautiful sunset.
