It was a beautiful morning in Waiheke. We didn’t have much time to enjoy the view from the bnb cause we wanted to catch the 11am ferry back to Auckland. This was our first of four transit days to get back home.
Things were going to plan until my Gmail app decided to upgrade itself while I was trying to look up the lockbox code to leave the car and house key (attached to the tow hook on the car). Heather was able to look it up and then we rushed over to the ferry line up. We made it on the 11am with minutes to spare.
Took an Uber to the Novotel at the airport, and then camped out for the rest of the day. We had lunch and dinner at the in-house restaurant which got only 2.6 on Google but wasn’t too bad. Had one last local Hazy Pale Ale :) I had read about the Nelson and Manteuka hops before we got to NZ, I really enjoyed them.
Our room had an excellent view of the runway and landing planes, as well as of Manukau Harbour and the surrounding mountains. It was really quite scenic. Heather also liked watching the little cars pulling the cart trains like little doozers.
We repacked our stuff to maximize our carryon in case our luggage didn't make it.
We took a little walk after dinner. We actually retraced our route from the international to domestic terminal just for fun. This was the path we had taken in miserable weather and in a big rush when we first arrived in NZ, unsuccessfully trying to catch our connection to Christchurch. It was much more pleasant today, a really nice sunset too.
