Day 229 (Sunday 26/06) - Last day in Australia ... sniff

Wake up at 8:30am.

Check-out from the hostel.

I go for a last walk in the city, in the centre, in the Botanic Gardens, and along the RIverside.


After that, I get back to the hostel to get my luggages, and head to the train station, to catch the train to the airport.

It takes around 20mins before getting to the airport.


As I get there, I see that most of the flights to N-Z have been cancelled ... (because of the ash cloud created by the Chillian volcano)


Luckily, mine isn't.

At 3:25pm we get in the plane, and soon afterwards, we leave Australia.

The flight takes approximately 3h.

During the flight, we have to pass close to the ash cloud.

We lower our altitude, and go underneath it.

We arrive at Auckland around 8:30pm local time.

I have almost 3h to wait for the flight to Hong-Kong.
(during the flight I watch the movie "Green Hornet", not too bad)

I take a bit of this time to update my notes on my computer.

At 11:15pm we get in the plane, and take off a bit later.

....

And this is the end ... Sniff :-(

I love Australia, and I will go back !
