The rest of our final day

We head for a cuppa to reflect on what we have seen on the red zone tour and then head to the botanical gardens for an explore as the weather is still sunny.  We discover the most amazing rose garden in full bloom and it is absolutely beautiful – we are also please to discover our own ‘David Austin Gertrude Jekyll’ rose in the garden.


After the botanical gardens we go for an explore of the Canterbury Museum.  Unfortunately only part of it is currently open due to the new building requlations for emergency exit ways following the earthquakes, but we are pleased to discover the Natural History Musuem’s ‘Scott's Last Expedition’ exhibition is newly opened there, and having just missed it in London we are excited to see it.




We have an early finish to our day after the museum as it is time to get Betty back to the campsite to get packed up and get ready for tomorrow.  We are both very sad to be leaving Betty and our last meal in her is a fairly subdued affair of pasta and sauce.  Neither of us can believe the best 8 weeks ever are finally coming to an end, but we are pleased to do one final happy thing for Betty – the naming ceremony, in order to ensure that Betty’s passengers going forward know that her name is Betty!!!
