Today was a travel day. We had another leisurely morning. We finished packing up and then drove to the campervan office to turn in the van. The return process was very quick and efficient. We took the shuttle to the airport. Luckily our suitcases were not overweight. Our flight was easy and uneventful. We had booked a hotel room near the airport for the night since we pick up our campervan tomorrow near the airport. We ubered to the hotel. It was weird to be in a hotel after living in the camper for two weeks.
We were going to go into Auckland for dinner but the uber was going to cost NZ$42, or over US$50 round trip which seemed a little too expensive so we stayed in the hotel and had dinner there. We watch CNN that evening to get caught up on the news.
Here’s a map of our total route around the south island.
