Farewell ...

... Spit. Can you see it? The very top of South Island. Yes, we're on our way, now in a hotel in Auckland where I have just had an invigorating dip in the tepid pool.
Sad but happy farewells. Poor Simone had virtually no sleep last night due to a teething Esme. You forget just how full on it all is and how little sleep you have to survive on We all chipped in with getting the Airbnb ready for the next guests due in this afternoon then Joe drove us over the Hill to Nelson.
What a fantastic and special five weeks and now they have announced that they are engaged so we have a wedding to look forward to! Who knows where that might be. I'd better start choosing my hat!
Next stop Singapore. The hotel have thoughtfully reminded us that the clocks go back tomorrow.
