Day 122 - CHAGGIE DOWNUNDER COMES TO AN END

We had a lay in this morning getting up at 11:00 to shower and have breakfast. Chaggie went and visited Peter and Esther who had us for a couple of days at the very beginning of our stay in New Zealand. We said our goodbyes and dropped off some bits.

This afternoon we went shopping for some souvenirs and had lunch with Michael and Marie, then at 15:00 it was goodbye Newmarket. Michael and Marie travelled in their car whilst we followed in the Honda to the storage company of our choice, which was made yesterday. We dropped him off making sure he would be all secure, was weird to see him completely empty inside. Farewell Brian! An emotional time!

Michael and Marie then dropped Chaggie off at the airport, really weird to be back. We said goodbye before checking in and dropping off our luggage.

The flight wasn't until 19:00 so we had an hour and a half before boarding time. Chino spent this time watching Black Books on his laptop whilst Staggie went and got a Mcdonalds and listened to his ipod.

It was Boeing 777 the whole way back to Gatwick, our first flight was to Melbourne leaving at 19:00. Throughout this journey we stayed up and watched a couple of films, we had a meal too.

We arrived in Melbourne at 21:00 local time. At Melbourne we had an hour and a half to wait, once again memories were remembered from our last time at the airport. We sat and waited for our next flight, boarding time was around 22:00. We left around 23:00, back in New Zealand it was 01:00 so already by now we were really starting to feel tired.
