Last day in NZ
Today is our last day in NZ and Auckland. Tomorrow we are off to Singapore. We take with us many memories. We have enjoyed our stay with Sarina and David and getting to know Harry who has been a real delight. What are the most memorable things that we will take away with us from NZ? Is it the lady that we met in Doubtful Sound who had sold her house and was gradually making her way through her sons' inheritence, the farmers wife who was hand rearing a lamb and would never be able to slaughter it or the wine grower who had reared 2 ducklings along with the chickens so that they now thought that they were chickens and wouldn't go near the pond. Equally it could have been some of the many people we met along the way, such as the man and lady that we met only this week as we were crossing the road and that we stood talking to for about 15 minutes or the man in the shop who wanted to advise where we should go not only in Auckland but also when we get to Singapore. Yes, people have been so friendly and helpful there are too many instances to recount and I am sure that over the weeks and months to come they will gradually all return to us.

Thanks for coming - it's been a joy having you. We'll miss the chatty, winey suppers and Harry's going to miss his spelling and reading session. Bon voyage!
