Travelogue

Sudima Hotel

We returned the campervan without a hitch. They even gave us a nice bottle of New Zealand wine for all the trouble they put us through on our first day with the battery dying.

Another couple returning their campervan didn’t get a bottle of wine though. Instead they received a bill for damages as they had obviously scraped the side of their van. The fender over one wheel was ripped off as well as the lights along the top of the van.

With the challenging driving in New Zealand, I can imagine that a lot of campers come back damaged.

We spent that night at the Sudima Airport Hotel.

The next morning we got to the airport 3 ½ hours before our flight to Auckland which would connect to a flight to San Francisco. Luckily we did, because for some reason our flight was canceled, but because we were there so early we were able to be put on an earlier one.

Whew!!
