Last leg of the trip



We woke up early today for the long drive north from Lake Wanaka to Christchurch. Christchurch is where we will be flying out to go back home. Along the way, we stopped at a McDonald's for some food. I decided to try the Kiwi burger and no, it is not made with Kiwi meat. The Kiwi burger is made with a beef patty, a fried egg, lettuce, tomato, and red beet root. How interesting...but very good!

There was one point where we were very low on gas. It was a scary situation because the gas indicator needle was at "E" for a while and there was no gas station in sight! The gas stations are very far and few in between along the highways of NZ. It is not like back home. We stopped off to ask for the nearest gas station and we were told that there was one 15 minutes away. We were worried we wouldn't make it but luckily, we made it and it really was 15 minutes away!
