After a long drive (5 1/2 hours) from Queenstown we arrived into Christchurch. As it was late we all just watched a film in the hostel and made sure everything was packed properly in our bags.
The next day we woke up early and headed into the town centre. We both were completely shocked at how derelict the place was, with buildings still half fallen down. It was weird how the earthquake only hit the centre of the town because as we drove out of it, everything seemed perfectly fine and standing! It's a shame because we could see how it could have been a lovely and vibrant city centre and now it was just like a ghost town.
We dropped the car off and headed into the airport. We were there early but somehow we seemed to forget to check the status of our plane, already it was 12pm and the board said gate closed! As we were running to the gate we had to do the run of shame as our names were announced throughout the whole airport! We only just made it luckily!
An hour and a half we arrived back into Auckland and got an early night ready for the 3am wake up call! Onto Hong Kong now :)
