We've had an amazing nine weeks in New Zealand, involving hikes to fjords, epic climbing around active volcanoes, marriage-testing tandem kayaking, great fly fishing, and a host of new kiwi friends. It's a great, quirky place that continues to surprise us. Like today, when we arrived at our airport hotel to find not only a gastropub nearby, but also a newly landscaped park with funky art installations from some of En-Zed's best emerging artists. And, as we strolled around for a couple of hours we happened to meet George, the landscape architect who designed the park.
New Zealand is like that. Odd, epic, and neighborly all at once. We like it, and are pretty sure we'll be back.
But tomorrow it's a 4:00 AM wake-up and a flight back to Australia. First stop: Cairns, for a week of diving on the Great Barrier Reef.
