We're back. A soft breeze is blowing through the boat and I have
a stack of deadlines—stories about the Tuamotus and Antigua,
pacific regattas and Olympic sailors. In short we’re settled and stable and if
weren’t for a hard drive full of images and a very bad cold it would seem like
our whirlwind tour of New Zealand was a dream.

In some
ways it was a dream—a two and a half week fantasy of sailing, spa-ing and
adventure that passed more quickly than most holidays do because there wasn’t any
anticipation to draw it out. But when it feels like it never happened—there are
still the pictures…
Looks like an action packed few weeks! Welcome 'home' to Aussie land :)
ReplyDeleteLoved the pictures - can't believe hot much fun and adventure you packed into such a short time!
ReplyDelete'tour of New Zealand was a dream'. It is weird to read that, since a friend of mine went to NZ and said the very same thing
ReplyDeleteThnaks for the nice comments, and the welcome home:)
ReplyDeleteNZ really is pretty cool to explore--I think it's the small scale contrasted against huge landscapes thing.
In Canada (and Oz) it feels like you have to travel huge stretches to see the next aazing thing--in NZ you drive around the corner...
