The End

Looking back on our year in Paradise I can only sum it up (somewhat lamely) by saying we had great times and made some great friends.

So, we are well and truly back in NZ, having returned on July 3. (I've been unable to update the blog due to technical problems.) And yes, it snowed the day after we arrived...

To anyone out there thinking of trading in traffic lights for star light, your concrete jungle for real jungle, then GO FOR IT. They say Life's a beach and Raro is maybe as close to that as possible.

One Month's Notice

In case you haven't heard, Chris has not renewed his contract. So we will be returning to Dunedin soon-ish. Won't that be...cold - I mean, cool. I mean FREEZING.

I've given my one month's notice at work and I've been told I may keep my uniforms.
I did feel obliged to say, "No, no, I should leave them for someone else" - Even though I was secretly hoping to keep at least one - as having a Hawaiian shirt on hand solves all my party costume requirements forever.

My generosity was met with laughter and I was told my shirts wouldn't fit anyone else. Ever. While I would like to think this is because I am 'slender' I think it's probably I am considered "child sized" if you know what I mean...
