Tomorrow Thursday, 5 January, we're 'hitting the road' again, as the 'Honeymoon,' continues... 

In and out,

Back and forth,

Until...

We are 

Lost in each other,

'Knot noing' 

Which is which, but 

'Knot' really caring!

RENOYIN!

Departing Auckland we head south for Palmerston North (and friend Carl Stapleton).  From there to Wellington, the Capitol, but more importantly the ferry to the South Island.  Ultimately, first goal is Queenstown, as I need some dry and brown (snowy mountains in the b.g.).

It's summer in New Zealand, just reversed from where some of you live!  I cycled in Sweden in the winter, so I know (less light, slippery business).

In April (Fall here), I have to decide about Chile, how to get there best (nee either sailing across the Pacific Ocean, or a good deal/flight some 11 hours).  And from what city?  The fare is expensive ($2KU.S.D.).  It might be less expensive to fly to Hawaii, and some such crazy 'higher volume' route to Santiago.  Harder on the body, however, and I'm 26,289 days old!

In the meantime, the longest journey begins with the first 'crank' (in our case)!  But ultimately, 'The journey IS THE DESTINATION, for me!'    I do have a deadline (Macchu Pichu by 1 December), but I think that is possible!
