Goodbye New Zealand

Today was our final day in Christchurch, and our last day of our New Zealand Trip. We checked out late, left our bags in hotel storage, and wandered round for a last look of the city. We were all happy to be going home at last, but sad to leave that beautiful country that we spent of Christmas Holidays in. We're going to miss it; the rivers, the mountains, the hundreds of thousands of sheep, the unique experiences. It's all been great fun and we will never forget those memories of the fun times we had.

As thoughts of home slowly make their way into our minds, we dread the things we have to do to get back to normal. We have 3 cameras between us, and all of them had at least 1000 photos taken. That's a heck of a lot of photos to sort out! And then there's the unpacking the suitcases and all the washing! Poor Mum.

The flight back home that afternoon was great. As usual, we flew back with Air New Zealand, who had their safety video playing on the personal entertainment screens for each passenger. The video is HILARIOUS!!! It’s rugby orientated, given that their crazy about it and the Rugby World Cup is coming up. Check the video out at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9f1awn9vBZE

YOU MUST WATCH THE VIDEO!!!!!

Getting through Customs and Immigration at Sydney Airport was a breeze and not long after we were in a taxi and heading for home.
