Many thanks to our fine hosts in Auckland the last couple of days. Barbara is a wonderful, vivacious woman that I met in Taupo on my last NZ trip in 2010. She was kind enough to take us to the Botanic Gardens and then to a wonderful little pizza place in Onehunga. (where I was told I have a "cool accent"!)
Many more thanks to Keg, who put us up / put up with us in the midst of preparations to move back to California in a few weeks' time. We had a great time sitting around the fire gabbing into the wee hours last night.
We're off to the airport around noon, and it looks like we'll be just under our allowable luggage weight limit. Yay! Perhaps I can even find room for one more bottle of wine.
I'm going to miss this country very much, and this blog will continue for some time. When I edit my (thousands) of photos I will put a few more up so you can better see what we experienced Down Under.
Meantime, kia ora and hope you're all well!
Here's a picture of a really big tree for you! This is the famed Tane Mahuta in the Waipoua Forest of Northland.
