Day 15: Home again, home again....

Our main task for today was to get back to Auckland by 1.30pm to drop off the hire car and catch our 5.45pm flight back to Brisvegas. Given we were less than two hours drive away, we didn't rush to leave the School House and instead had a leisurely breakie fry up and tried to use up all remaining food items we wouldn't be able to take back home. We left behind or binned a few items but did not have too much waste, fortunately.

We left by 10am and drove the short distance Hamilton and took a short drive around their lake. Then we headed further north to Auckland to visit their dormant volcano, and site of prehistoric village, called Mount Eden or Maungawhau, located in central-ish Auckland somewhere.

From there we finally hit the hire car drop off place and international airport.

The flight was uneventful and on time and we got back to home, sweet home just before 9pm.

Overall, it was a very enjoyable trip for our first overseas family adventure. Hopefully, we can start planning another one soon.

Home again, home again, jiggity jig.Read more
