We set the alarm this morning - but even when it went off, we couldn't be bothered to get up. We had to take the campervan back today, plus we had to pay $36 for the campsite last night - so we wanted to stay as long as we could to make the most of it. We slowly got ready and packed our things into our backpacks - making sure we didn't leave anything behind, before driving over to our hostel in the centre.
After filling the van up with diesel, we took the it back to the Christchurch office. The Jucy staff told us that we had done 4273km in the van, which they said was quite impressive - we didn't like to say about the detours we had taken through the wilderness! We collected our things and said our goodbyes to Kiwi before catching the bus back to the hostel.
This afternoon we took a walk down to the supermarket to get some supplies before dropping them back and then looking round the shops. We did go into the Christchurch Cathedral, which looked quite impressive, but they were closing - so we'll have to go back.
When it was starting to get dark we came back to hostel and cooked some tea (yes, I helped), before relaxing in our room. It's nice because we have a real bed and a TV - unlike the campervan - where I had to make the bed every night.
Goodbye Kiwi - thanks for showing us New Zealand!

I knew it! You're hiding somewhere! Bath? Chipping Sodbury?
