Til We Meet Again

Well, it's time to leave New Zealand. We've had a mostly great time here. I wish we hadn't chosen Stray buses to get around (except for a few great drivers and a few locations, activities and accommodations we might not have found on our own). Being taken everywhere made me a bit lethargic and prevented the satisfaction of striking out on our own. Nonetheless I've been thrilled by New Zealand's gorgeous and diverse scenery, amazing birds, endless opportunities to feel a rush of adrenalin, wonderfully friendly and funny people and the opportunity to visit some people I knew. We'll have to come back here someday...there were some things we didn't get to do because of the season, and I want to canyon swing again!!!

Thanks for having us, NZ!!!
