The final day and a pretty lazy one planned. Packed, checked out and headed into the city for a look at the city sights. For a Sunday morning the place was packed. Parking was nearly impossible and people were everywhere. After a lengthy search eventually found a park just over the road from a trendy little place serving late breakfast. Best breakkie of the trip.
Went for a walk down to the inner city for a mervyn . Crossed over the Avon with the tourists punting along under the bridge and on to Victoria Square.

A trip to the souvenir shop for some last minute gifts & it was time to try and find where we had parked the car and head on out to the airport. With the car safely returned and the baggage checked in we headed to the duty free to puchase the compulsory alcohol limits and then went to grab some refreshments to carry us through the trip home. What a hopeless arrangement this is for an international airport. Only one place to get food & drink, queues of 50 people either side, insufficient tables and chairs and food that would choke an emu. Lucky G&T comes in tins.
Then back on the big silver bird for a relatively comfortable and uneventful trip back home.
