I spent an hour or more writing a blog post about where we are now, way up in the north of New Zealand ...
We caught the ferry over to Whitianga only to learn that the internet cafe had closed and here I am, at the Information Centre, with no USB port.
On the USB stick in my pocket, I have the blog post and photograph, the one that where I attempted to capture the ongoing deliciousness and intensity of all we're experiencing here in New Zealand.
We're back with the friends who welcomed us into New Zealand, relaxing at their beach house in the Coromandel, almost exhausted by the incredible kindess we've experienced during our time in this beautiful Antipodean world of mine.
It's been bliss here, so much more than I could have dreamed it might have been. So. Much. More.
We fly soon. I believe I will simply spend the rest of the northern hemisphere winter blogging stories and photographs from New Zealand.
See you once we're back online.
