Arrowtown<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h1>\r\n

As time was drawn for the last week of the\u00a0<\/span>NZ<\/span><\/a>\u00a0trip, we still had a few days left to enjoy\u00a0<\/span>Queenstown<\/span><\/a>\u00a0before we head home back to the\u00a0<\/span>UK<\/span><\/a>. We decided to visit the neighbouring town, Arrowtown a bus ride away and only cost us $2 with the Go card (now renamed Bee card). Arrowtown is the gold mining town of New Zealand, reminding me of the wild west theme of Westworld. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Arrowtown bakery & cafe<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\r\n

For a quick bite, head on to\u00a0<\/span>Arrowtown bakery & Caf\u00e9<\/span><\/a> for some homemade pies, mousetrap toasties, and delicious cakes. My chicken pie is covered in a light flaky pastry, filled with a hearty filling, of creamy sauce with chicken and mushroom pieces. Accompanied with a chilli jam. Mousetrap is melted cheese, sweetcorn, and crispy bacon on a toasted piece of bread. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Shops around the area<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\r\n

The shops in Arrowtown are interesting, you can see gold nuggets in the jewellery shops, and beautiful art pieces in the\u00a0souvenir\u00a0shops.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"Arrowtown<\/p>\r\n

The Chinese settlement<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\r\n

The Chinese settlement is worth a visit, you see a part of the history of early Chinese settlers who came to Otago-Southland in the <\/span>1860s<\/span>. You catch a glimpse of the life of the Chinese migrant’s tiny huts from the gold rush era and Ah Lum\u2019s store.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n
