Goodbye New Zealand

Imgp6809

An early morning walk on Takapuna Beach  Beach.

On Thursday we will say goodbye to New Zealand, our home for the past 32 years. I'm not sad to be leaving.  Many an Australian will tell you being Australian never leaves you. Wherever you are in the world you will  always think of yourself as an Australian and long for the day when you can return.

There are things I will miss.  The view of  Westhaven Marina  as you come into the city over the Harbour Bridge from the North Shore.  Camping at RaglanHiking to the top of Rangitoto.  Kayaking on Lake Pupuke.

......mostly I will miss my friends...you know who you are....and I hope you'll come visit.

Hope the move goes smoothly, Barbara! Take care.

It's always nice to come home after being away for so long - I spent the better part of the nineties traipsing around the planet after university, and returning home always felt good and right. Here's hoping all goes smoothly, young lady!

Good luck for Thursday, hope everything goes as planned. I'll never get to visit you in NZ now! but
Australia is also on my wish list!

Good luck with the move! Best wishes.

Good luck Barbara !! You will still be australian in your heart and you will be there in your soul!!!Hope everything goes fine.
