Knowing that our flight from Christchurch was at 7pm-ish, we thought we would have a quiet day, chilling in the Botanical Gardens opposite our hostel. There were some massive trees and beautiful flowers – lots of artist displays that the community had put together as a way of making the place look colourful and bring positive thoughts of progression and recovery to the rest of Christchurch.
We had a walk around, read our books on a bench and sunbathed on the grass – lovely and relaxing. For lunch we found a cafe and got a yummy toasted sandwich, bought some snacks and then caught the local bus to the airport. There was a huge Cicoda travelling next to Gav on the bus which freaked him out a bit.
We got some tea at the airport and waved a sad goodbye to the very beautiful New Zealand. We loved every moment of the first chunk of our trip, and will always have a soft spot for New Zealand – we both very much want to be able to go there in the future.
