Back Home On The Coast

On Tuesday morning we said goodbye to our friendly hosts at the Heartland Airport Hotel and headed to the Auckland Airport in the Shuttle Bus, where we boarded the Virgin plane for the three hour flight back to the Gold Coast and home. We had all enjoyed ourselves immensely trekking around the North Island and were moved by the genuine warmth and kindness shown to us by the New Zealanders we met on our travels. I have written this blog mainly for myself as I find over time the places I visited, what I did there and when tend to blur and blend into each other. However to those who took the trouble to read my simple musings I hope they were of passing interest. Also, because of family and work commitments, not everyone has the time to travel so perhaps to some extent the blog allowed them to walk with us in Aotearoa
