Today was our last full day in New Zealand and souvenir shopping was our intended task for today. We spent the first couple of hours re-packing our bags ready for the flight home. Sadly we leave for Brisbane at 6am NZ time (or 3am AEST), and we need to be at the airport 2 hours before, so sleep will be an issue tonight. Our Taxi is scheduled to pick us up at 3.30am NZ time, so we will need to be up 2.30 NZ time. Fun! However our tickets are free due frequent flyer points from our round the world trip, so what’s a little lack of sleep.

We headed into the CDB mid morning, to do final sightseeing of the city’s magnificent gardens, churches and old buildings. A tram ride around the city heart followed by a visit to the city’s “Kiwi House” completed our scheduled checklist of what to see and do.

After a brief lunch at Burger King (sorry Melissa), we headed to the souvenir shops to purchase goodies for all in sundry. After a couple hours of shopping later we headed back to the unit to get ready for a final dinner at local Italian restaurant “
Tutto Bene”, which is claimed by the locals to be the best in Christchurch. The restaurant is run by a local Italian family, and many of the staff have rich Italian accents that complement the food and the décor nicely.
