Couldn't sleep so I got up and read about things to do in christchurch, which included a hike up Mt Cavendish beside the gondola. After breakfast, we organized our luggage and tried to call Nicole and Blair. We then drove to the base of the gondola and hiked up to the observation deck, and got a picture of Christchurch.
There we found a souvenir shop at which we bought 2 T-shirts, a sheep doll with sound and a fleece jacket. After returning from the hike we went back to the hostel and called again. This time we got Blair. After lunch,we filled up the car with gas and returned it, and were dropped off at the airport. Whew made it through driving on the wrong side of the road.
The flight home was long particularly because of the transfer in San Francisco where we had to clear US security; they required us to collect our baggage and re-check it. We got to Toronto just before 9 p.m., and cleared customs seamlessly. We took the Go Bus to Scarborough and stayed overnight with Kanji's aunt. We had to leave on the 8 a.m. bus to Kingston because GL's funeral was at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.
It was a great trip but we were happy to be home.
