Our New Zealand Trip 2013: Final Boarding Call

Well, pretty soon we will hear "this is the final boarding call for flight NZ84 to Vancouver" and we will have to leave here but Jana and I are already decided to come back again. Now we know where to go and what to do.

We got to the airport early as we had to return the motor home by 3 pm and the return depot is just five minutes form the airport. Got through security quickly and now we are waiting for boarding. This time we are smart and are charging all our gadgets. On the way here we were expecting to have power on the plane and used up a lot of battery before we boarded. For some that was quite a tragedy. Now we know better. We brought a power bar from Canada so that we can use one adaptor and then plug all our stuff in to he power bar. Here we even have stuff plugged in to he laptops to make sure all is 100%

Charging everything

Now we are at Gate 7 and waiting for the call.

This morning we got up a bit earlier than usual to get everything ready. We emptied the waste and moved out of the camp to the parking lot close by and packed all the stuff. Then we fueled up the motorhome, filled up the propane bottle and headed to the Wilderness Motorhome depot to return the motorhome. I really made sure I returned the camper as we got it. I am pleased to let you know that I even returned the cow pie. The day before yesterday as I was going to empty the gray water I noticed a familiar odor around the camper. The the cap for the drain was covered with cow dung and even the wheel well on Jana's side was covered in this beautiful stuff. I could not recall running over anything like this. I went out of my way to even avoid New Zealand's little speed bumps - possums, all I can think off is that at one point the night before I drove very close to the ditch as I was moving out of the way so that the cars behind me could pass. I went all the way on to the grass and I guess that is where I picked up some of the stuff. So we returned the camper in the same condition as we got it.

The smelly stuff

Well it is time to board so I will post this and will write the final New Zealand post on the plane. In the mean time here is a few pictures from some of our adventures.
