After a few hours sleep this morning (that's one thing I've seriously lacked this holidays - is sleep), I woke up and we had lunch at home and then I started the awful job of packing up to leave. Not looking forward to end of this amazing holiday, or the 18 hour flight home. Didn't get around to doing too much this afternoon, just a bit of packing and hanging around at home, then later on I headed off with Craig and Donna to the airport, ready but not quite raring to go.

Once checked in and bags dropped, we sat waiting in the Down Under bar until it was time to head through. The scheduled flight is from here to Brisbane, where we stop for an hour to drop off and pick up passengers, then 8 hours to Dubai, where we change planes and set off for another 8 hours onto London. So as my last post from New Zealand, I'll sign off saying it's been amazing and had the most incredible 3 weeks around the most beautiful country I've been to in my travels. Hopefully I'll be back one day again, but for now, it's time to board and try and catch up on a few week's worth of sleep... next stop, London.
