It's our last few days in New Zealand! 10 months has passed really quickly...but then when I think of all we've done I can't believe that we've been here less than a year. It's been such a great adventure and I'm sad it's over. But I am also looking forwards to seeing everyone back home and enjoying the rest of Canadian summer :)
We've got the van all packed and are ready to start our big drive tomorrow morning. It's 9ish hours to Picton, where we'll stay overnight. Then 3 hours on the ferry and 8 hours drive to Auckland. Ugh, not looking forward to it. If all goes to plan we should be there with a whole day of buffer until Dexter and I have to get on the plane! Then 14 hours in the air to Vancouver where my parents will pick us up (yay!), and another big 10 hour drive to Calgary. Lot's of travel in the next few days :) Scott gets to fly all the way to Calgary, lucky. But he also has to stay behind to sell our van and get our other affairs in order... so I guess I don't envy that part.
On the way to Auckland we will hopefully be losing our surfboards in Christchurch. Somebody there replied to our internet ad and we are meeting up to make the sale, woo! The van is a lot less full in general because we donated most of the random stuff we've acquired here that isn't worth bringing home.
Here's some parting shots from Wanaka. See you soon!!!!
