Well, there's no point in pretending - the small adventure is finished. It was . . . emotional. Most of the emotion was related to smiling, astonishment and joy, not bad really. Having said that, it has been great meeting up with family and friends again. I spent the first week and half being pampered by my family, which was just grand. Even though current technology (like this blog) means that you're never out of touch in the way that travellers overseas once were, there's no substitute for seeing everyone and being able to spend time with them. All I have to do now is get a job (interview number one in two days time) and then life will be back into it's home routine.
If you are wondering whether it was all worth while, the answer for me is undoubtedly yes. I hope that one day I will be back in NZ to explore the little bits left as mysteries. When I do, another blog is sure to follow. Thank you one and all for taking the time to follow my odd wonderings and wanderings. Be good, have fun and get out to see the world, it's a great place.
