Today the sun was shining and we were off to find some gifts to take home. We went into the CBD of Hamilton and parked at a mall. We walked around spending our money on some nice gifts, a massage for me and more ice cream for Tegan. There were a number of galleries we visited with some interesting ideas, but the prices were pretty high so we moved on.
We considered a waterpark, but settled on the Hamilton Zoo and it was a very pleasant experience. Our favourite animals were the Cockatoos, the Rhinos and the Kakariki; a small green parakeet.
Tegan even found her name etched into some living bamboo stalks.
So with the zoo completed, we made our way for our final destination: Auckland.
Finding a hotel was a little difficult, but after a couple of hours we snagged one and went out shopping for some wine to bring home. A night in watching TV and organizing our bags for the trip home was in order. We would be on our way home tomorrow and we were both happy and sad with that news.
