it's a little bit surreal. but i'm glad to see fiona & co., and be back somewhere familiar. as soon as i get myself sorted and finish a few projects i've been working on, i will head to golden bay before going up to the north island. i'm feeling a little bit melancholic about it because it means i am getting closer to the end. i've had such an amazing time, and the west coast is so beautiful! i'm a bit sad to be leaving there, but i will go back some day, i'm sure of it. (did i mention the ice climbing i did at franz josef? at hukawai, there is a 10m/32ft ice climbing wall, and i did an hour and a half session. it was really quite fun!)
although it was cool and rainy on the west, as it is wont to be, so it's nice to be able to ditch the fleece and quite possibly, if i am feeling brave, break out the swimsuit!
I'm so sorry to hear that you have left the south island. We're one tramp away from Stewart Island - thinking about you!! But so glad you were able to enjoy a bit of time out there.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the north island. :)
