Thursday - Driving Back

There was no rush today as we had till 7pm to drop off the car. We decided to take a slow drive and stop off at anything that sounded interesting....which turned out not to be much, The Firth of the Thames was beautiful, with pocket coves and beaches, we were in Manuka just outside Auckland by 12pm. We didnt want to venture into Auckland CBD because of the traffic and we had been there many times. So we stopped at the nearest mall for lunch and watched the new Captain America film...that kept us happy. In the end we dropped the car off early about 5pm and had a few beers some dinner and read some trashy magazines at the airport, time went pretty quick and we were back in Christchurch in no time ready for bed and gearing ourselves up to get back to reality with work tomorrow....oh how we miss the traveling lifestyle.
