South Island New Zealand ….. In Summary

This will be my last blog post from New Zealand.  What an amazing journey it has been.  The long and consecutive days of walking/hiking have been a rejuvenation of our love for forest and mountains.  The best of the best is of course the scenic beauty and the amazing network of hikes.  The funny things are the current music scene is all US 80’s.  Now I love this music but enough is enough J  Styles are also classic 80’s, ladies please send all of your old leggings to New Zealand, they are on everybody and found everywhere.  The only negatives really were around food.  This country is blessed with amazing raw products from veggies to lamb to beef to venison to milk.  However there seems to be a conspiracy against creativity and every menu has the same items and the pleasure found in consumption is well below the price tag of the dinner out. 

To those of you who have checked in on our blog and commented … THANK YOU !!!  It has been great fun for us to stay in touch and feel just a bit closer to home and friends.  We fly out of NZ tomorrow (3/29) and then we relax on Lummi, but stayed tuned as the blog posts will resume from Italy as we depart for Milan on April 28^th.

Essential New Zealand Gear :-)
