28th January - Goodbye Wanganui! Hello South Island!

Today we left Wanganui to start our long trip home. We had mixed feelings really, excited about the trip, but a little sad to be leaving Wanganui, and North Island, after such a long stay.

After re packing the suitcases for the third time, trying to fit everything in and stay within weight limits, we finally set off for Wellington and our flight to Christchurch.

Dave drove us to Wellington where, true to form it was windy and very cold! However, after the short flight to Christchurch we emerged into the very warm sunshine, great!
