Tour books say check out Hayes Lake so we swing by enroute to Arrowtown. There is sculling practice happening and we spy a very cute Coot, then off we go to explore an historic Chinese settlement where they tell the story of gold miners from China and their roll in the NZ history. Once we get our history fix, we stroll the main street and find some pretty good pizza with eggplant, fresh basil, mozzarella, and Spec and I another of those Cloudy Apple Ciders. We are really very full but as we head back to the van I can’t pass up the ice cream. They have the one flavor claimed to be quintessential NZ, Hokey Pokey. It is vanilla ice cream with crunchy bits of honey comb. We share a scoop made by a local creamery, Deep South. Delicious.
