Our last day on the road. We had a short drive back to Christchurch. We checked into the Top Ten Holiday Park (where we stayed the very 1st night) and returned the camper van. I would say we really lucked out with the weather our entire trip. The temps were above average several days. We explored downtown Christchurch for the afternoon. The area had been severely damaged by a 2012 earthquake and the rebuilding process is ongoing. We wandered about the Re:start shopping area where stores have been set up in shipping containers. They had tent vendors also. Cathedral Square was pretty peaceful and it was a bit surreal to see the damage done to the Cathedral itself. Grandma and Papa opted to take the tram tour around the city while Matt and I took the kids back to the room. The girls wanted to swim and DB wanted to rent one of the peddle cars. One last dinner in New Zealand and we were all ready to sleep in a regular bed and wake up bright and early for our flight back to Australia.
