Yesterday was cold, today V was out washing the van in her Bikini. We gave the ole little Vanette a solid scrubbing inside and out mainly to save the &#8216;Cleaning Fee&#8217; from Rental Car Village. We have \u00a310 left in our adjusted trip budget (more on that as soon as we get to updating the sheets). <\/p>\n<p>We returned our little house. Sad to see it go. The receptionist at RCV barely glanced at the car to check for missing items, damage, fuel level etc. I was hoping they would at least comment on how clean it was after all that work. There is so much trust and honesty here. It continues to amaze us. What&#8217;s really funny is that if you return the car after hours the car manual has instructions on how to get into their service yard and where to leave the keys! <\/p>\n<p>The Eweg&#8217;s have very kindly loaned us a car to use for the week so we&#8217;ll be able to get out and about in Christchurch if we don&#8217;t get stuck on the net or in front of a TV. We have loads of photos and video to upload, blog things to sort out and an awful lot of Net and TV time to catch up on. <\/p>\n<p>[Pictures: Farewell little Vanette]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:right;\"><small>&#8211; Posted from my iPhone via WiFi<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Christchurch, New Zealand] We&#8217;re running out of things to report.
