Shotover Jet Boats

Woke up to a light rain, but that didn't stop us from going on a jet boat ride down the Shotover River. 
$135 for a breathtaking ride through narrow canyons & exhilarating full 360° spins. Boats go every 15 minutes. 






We got a dvd of our trip and pictures too. 
They took our picture before we got all wet from the spray of the water. 


Here's one of me after, mom wouldn't take one as her hair was soaked. 

We then came back to our room, changed clothes & drove to Arrowtown. It's about 22 km from QT. 

It was raining, but we walked around and had a late breakfast at a place called Chop Shop. 

2 Flat Whites coming up!




Very cute town. I actually liked it better than QT. Very quaint with its downtown filled with cute shops. 


Lots of trees. It's an old gold mining town. 

Pictures don't do justice but the trees are changing color. 

Cool Church

Nice day even with the rain. 
Now back at the room. We have to finish up our wine we've bought before we head out tomorrow. 


Can't believe it's the end of our holiday. We have one place left to stop and that's Bespoke Kitchen in QT. It received Best Cafe of the year for all of NZ. We're going to go there tmrw for breakfast.
