Alps 2 Ocean – Day 6

This entry is part 14 of 14 in the series 2018 New Zealand

We said goodbye to our hosts at Burnside Homestead and headed off for the last time this trip through the picturesque rolling countryside.

It was only 19km to the finish of the Alps 2 Ocean trail in Oamaru and we all had photos taken in the commemorative frame. We had covered 292km in the 6 days and seen a lot of the NZ south island countryside.

We had plenty of time for a good look around the Victorian Precinct of Oamaru before lunch at a cafe overlooking the water.

It was then onto the bus for the long drive back to Christchurch and our flight home in the morning. We spent our time swapping photos and picking our favourite rides, accommodation and meals. Our guides Sue and Wayne and Adventure South did a great job and we hope to return to NZ and try some of the other trails in the future.
