Arrowtown

Arrowtown is a tourist hotspot that was once a boomtown during the Otago gold rush of the 1860s.  It has a tourist appeal and is very beautiful in the autumn.  Arrowtown also serves as an alternate ski town to Queenstown.  We had a nice evening in Arrowtown after surviving "the world's most exciting jet boat ride."

Old buildings and turning leaves

The Post and Telegraph

The Masonic Lodge

It should be noted that life in Arrowtown has turned many a good child bad.  Oliver spent most of his time sitting at the bar . . .

. . . or shooting pool with his sister.

If you are in Arrowtown, I high recommend the Fork and Tap.  Great atmosphere, people, food, and drink!
