New Zealand Day 14-Queenstown to Te Anau (via Arrowtown)

Sunday March 9

Today was a relatively short travel day to Te Anau.  The weather has been great.  We got to see the iconic New Zealand bungy jump location near Queenstown and watched a few jumpers.  I couldn't talk Vera into taking the leap.  Arrowtown is an old gold mining town with a neat downtown and nifty little museum.  Finally found some bones from the now extinct moa.  The big ones were 12 feet tall.  We traveled through a region aptly called "The Lake District".  The lake our hotel is near, Te Anau, is around 1200 feet deep and the largest lake by volume in New Zealand.  Lots of other large lakes as well.
