Well this is the final blog entry from me (Jon) for the trip. There will of course be the ‘Entire history of New Zealand’ but this will have to be a collaborative work back in the UK. I hope you’ve found it interesting, amusing, thought provoking or at very lest something to read during your coffee break.
I make my way to the airport in a little under 4 hours ready for 29 hours in a pressurised tube with wings and jet engines to fling myself back to London, back to winter and back to work. I’m now several shades of biscuit darker (biscuits being the scale that sun tan is measured on, from rich tea to chocolate bourbon) and many t-shirts heavier (luggage wise). I’ve fed wallabies, seen penguins up close and thrown up on whales, not to mention surviving a wedding and subsequent celebrations. I’ve drunk collossal amounts of Monteiths summer ale and covered around 40,000km.
Nanu Nanu,
This is Jon aka Willie D’Souza signing off
Dave and Leanne, I’m looking forward to the panto. I make no guarantees of being awake thoughout all (or indeed any) of it but I’ll be there none the less.
