Hobbiton

Now we are on our own.  It’s quite different from the comradery we have been enjoying the past 10 days.  For the last time on this trip we do laundry, and pack camera gear and other items we will not need until we get back home.

Our last day in Australia starts with breakfast and an early ride to the airport for our flight to Queenstown, on the South Island of New Zealand.  We find out our flight is cancelled, instead of an Air New Zealand flight we are taking a Virgin Australia flight, arriving at 545 PM.  With no meal or snack.  The hotel is a 30-minute ride from the airport.  Another long day.
