Goodbye New Zealand.

[orbert]

So, The time has come for me to wave farewell to New Zealand and It's pretty sad. I've had a great 7 months in this country and feel as though I've changed quite considerably. The year thing may not have worked out quite how I expected but this is long enough away from home for my first time. Or at least, I think. The longer I'm here the less interested I am about going home. Or maybe it's the backpacking life that I will miss? I've been in an environment where spontaneity is pretty much the biggest rule and without that I'm not sure how well I'll cope. Ohwell, as much as I would like to stay I have to go home; things to do, people (and dogs) to see.

Goodbye New Zealand & farewell to the brilliant people I have met; you have made me a changed man!
