CROMWELL
This town is famous for fresh fruits but it wasn’t a good time when we went. We can’t find an open stall that sells fresh fruits.
We didn’t go through the tour but you may want to visit.

This is the highest salmon in the world using glacier water to farm the salmon. However, they have lesser choices here when we came and it’s also slightly more expensive.
Passing by Lake Pukaki, there is a very beautiful view even though it’s a cloudy day.
