Day 14... Queenstown/Gibbston Valley/Arrowtown

Today was a kind of bum around the town day as 1. we were sore from our day of skiing adventures and 2. the weather was yuck. We rented a car with our friend James and drove out to Gibbston Valley. NZ is known for its dairy, so we visited the best cheesery. Our sample tray was fabulous!

On the way back to Queenstown, we visited Arrowtown. Several Lord of the Rings scenes were filmed here... including my favorite when Arwen carries Frodo across the river on horseback (in The Fellowship of the Ring). She turns, looks at the enemy, and says "If you want him, come and claim him." James and I took a picture in front of that river to commemorate the occasion.

This sign is all over NZ. I love how environmentally friendly they are.
