We went to church on Sunday which was actually fast sunday instead of conference since they watch conference delayed in NZ. In the afternoon we drove up to Waitangi for a picnic lunch, which was very nice. We actually went to a Waitangi historical center where we got to see where the treaty was actually signed and it was a fascinating place. Our tour guide sure knew her stuff. A well-spent afternoon. Came back and watched a couple of good movies.
We made our way home on Monday and basically drove the whole day.
We had a few days left in Auckland to do some last-minute things before officially finishing the program on Friday. We learned how to weave flax, bought some last minute souveneirs, and hiked Rangitoto. Rangitoto was a particularly fun activity because we went early in the morning for the hike, which was a nice hike, and spent the afternoon doing last-minute shopping in the city. I'm glad we got to do the hike and I feel it was a well-spent morning. It was hard to believe that it was the last time for us seeing a lot of the people we've spent every day with since January! We had a get-together the night previous and fortunately we got to see James again, and he's such a dear, he got us matching lava lavas and hats with our initials. It was a great ending to our time in Auckland. We got everything packed up and ready to go for our trip to Australia.
