NZ Trip - Arrowtown Bakery
Arrowtown Bakery and Cafe
http://www.arrowtownbakery.netfirms.com/
On the morning of my last day in New Zealand, we stopped at Arrowtown to look at the leaves. Mum is extreme when it comes to deciduous tree colour appreciation.
I, on the other hand, was quite excited about this cute cafe. Arrowtown has a small strip of shops, mostly cafes, restaurant and giftshops though I did spot a wine cellar too.
This cafe was the first we came across and it looked inviting and warm.
There was a full breakfast menu but we were all stuffed from the Skyline buffet which we had the night before so we settled for an assortment of smaller items.

NZ Trip - Skyline Restaurant
Skyline Gondola Restaurant and Luge
Brecon St, Queenstown
Queenstown was the last major city that we stopped at during my recent trip to New Zealand. My mum organized a ride up the gondola to the Skyline restaurant for a buffet dinner.
I'll start by mentioning that the view was spectacular. We hung out on the top floor and snapped many photos. After working up an appetite, we headed to the restaurant.

NZ trip - The Olive Tree Cafe in Te Anau
The Olive Tree Cafe
52 Town Centre, Te Anau
The rest of the gang got back from a cruise through Doubtful Sounds and were grumbling for a meal. I had just spend a day and half wandering through Te Anau aimlessly and knew there was basically one main street that contained most of the cafes and restaurants.
We stopped by The Olive Tree Cafe because it seemed cosy and busy. I asked to sit outside and instantly regretted this because it was freezing... but had too much pride to suggest changing tables.

NZ trip - ROOM SERVICE!
ROOM SERVICE!
Dining out - but... 'in'
Continuing on with the theme of my previous post i.e. Cora alone in a hotel in New Zealand. I went a bit trigger happy with self-indulgences, one of which was 2 hours worth of back-to-back massages.
To put the icing on the cake, I decided I would order myself some room service under the pretence that it was too embarrassing to dine out alone (which is true).

NZ trip - A local food affair
NZ trip - A local food affair
Home Cooking
I labelled this post as 'home cooking' when in truth, I was far, far from home. As I mentioned previously, my decision to tag along on my parents trip came late. Because of this, there was a day I had to spend alone at my lakeview room in Te Anau (nothing to really complain about) while they went for a cruise in Doubtful Sound.
Morning lakeside stroll
I was to sort out lunch and dinner on my own.
To kill time, I wandered around the city centre (even smaller than Toowoomba City centre) and found myself drawn to a grocery store that gratefully accepted my Visa card (I hadn't any NZ$ on me besides what I changed to use the coin-operated computer I'm on now).
