That's it folks! We are spending a night at a hotel near to Auckland Airport ready for our flight to Hong Kong where we will spend another night at an airport hotel before catching another 11-hour flight back to London. Yes, it takes longer doing it that way, but we are sure that we would be grateful sleeping in a bed; and it's cheaper than flying in Business Class.

Not sure if anyone has stuck with us all the way through this blog but we've enjoyed writing it to get our thoughts together and help us remember everything – we've seen so much in three weeks. This is a beautiful and amazing country and if you haven't been already – DO !

Lots of Love,

Hamish and Alan xxx

PS. The weather forecast for the North Island for the next few days is rain and low temperatures. So it's time to return to a warm London. Now, it's not often we can say that !

It's been so much fun to be able to take this trip with you! I hope you are going to put out a little coffee-table book: _Alan and Hamish Do New Zealand_!

Not quite the spectacular views of NZ, but you will be happy to get back home, I am sure. So when are you coming to Australia?
