Last day in NZ

We woke up pretty tired after our late night stargazing adventure last night. We grabbed breakfast in Tepako, loaded the van, and headed towards Christchurch. The weather got very overcast and rainy shortly after we left. We opted to not try driving and parking our van in the city for just a couple of hours of wandering in the rain and instead chose to visit the International Antarctic Centre, right by the airport. They had penguins (blue penguins that are native to NZ) and huskies! We then topped off our gas tank and brought our van to a car wash (weird request from the van company) before dropping it off. Once at the airport, we did some shuffling so my bag was under the 23kg requirement and then we were on our way through the fastest security line ever! Hoping for a smooth connection in Auckland before our longer flight to Honolulu!Read more
