Last day in New Zealand.

We popped down to see George play his last rugby game of the season.

I went with Carol and Gwyneth to just "pop" into a house sale .... 4 hours later, wallet considerably lighter and having taken in Newmarket too we returned back to Andy + Gwyneths to rescue the Dads who'd been holding the fort whilst we popped out !

Over the course of the afternoon most of the Robinson gang dropped over for tea, wine, pizza and eventually it was the time for those sad goodbyes.

We were deposited at the airport by a tired Ian and Jean who we'd kept up the night before. Distracted by the prospect of the NZ v Oz game .. we got checked in pretty quickly and found the nearest bar to watch the game - whilst i got some last minute shopping in. Jake meanwhile fell asleep.

We were called through to our flight 5 mins before the game ended and when the Ozzies were still in the lead. Impossible to get any connection with the tense Marty until he found out the final score on the plane from someone who had the score txt to them. There was a chance now that it could be a good flight ! Go the ABs !

Bye bye New Zealand ... sad to go.
