🇳🇿 NZ Day Trip: Wanaka → Arrowtown → Queenstown

🌅 Morning in Wanaka Breakfast: Coffee + toast by the lake (serene AF). Shopping: Cozy wool sweat Wanaka Wool + impulse earring buy (oops!). 🛣️ Scenic Drive to Queenstown 1️⃣ Cloudy Bay Winery (LVMH-owned) 🍷 Pretty but meh—quick photo stop. 2️⃣ Race Track & "View Toilet" 🚽 Oddly scenic rest stop + race car selfies. 3️⃣ Kawarau Bridge Bungee 🪂 Watched jumpers (nope nope nope)—freezing winds! ⛏️ Arrowtown Gold Panning Kids dug for gold ($5 tools) → found fool’s gold (💔). Patagonia Ice Cream: Massive scoops (too cold to finish!). 🌇 Queenstown Arrival Dinner: Forgettable pizza. Souvenirs: Felt sheep dolls + pricey but yummy goat milk soap. Stayed @ Mercure Queenstown: Great views but dated rooms (meh breakfast). 📌 Verdict Chill day with mixed hits—Arrowtown’s charm + Queenstown’s vibes saved it! #NZRoadTrip #Wanaka #Arrowtown #Queenstown #TravelDiaries
