It's me again (Judith) - in the airport in Melbourne waiting for my friends flight to arrive from Sydney. Yesterday's Lantern Festival, wild wind and rain and party at Michael's office with Tim there too was a bittersweet way to end the trip. Larisa and the Chrises headed off back to east coast, Kim and Mark + Nancy for one more day in Auckland. What a great city Auckland is! Nancy and I had a couple of beers at a bar with lamps hanging upside-down from the ceiling. Hopefully Kim + Mark are having a well deserved relaxing day before their return. I'm missing eveyone already. Whew! What a trip! So many great experiences... looking forward to reliving them over and over again. Special thanks to everyone who made the trip possible Kim, Raywen, Tim, Mark, Michael....lots of details, beautiful sites, experiences, great food etc etc. More later.
