We’ve made it…

We’ve made it … not to New Zealand but technically out of Australia. We are in the departures lounge at Brisbane International Airport.

This morning we handed over the house keys to Jeff … made a final run to the dump … cleaned the car … took photos of the (now clean) car and left it somewhere on a back street near Matthew’s.

Then we regrouped … had coffee and a sandwich … showered, put on warm and wind proof clothing and headed for the airport.

I managed to get through customs (I am after all … an Australian).

And now we are collapsed, exhausted but happy. Only an hour to kill before boarding.

The next time we speak … we’ll be in Wellington (unless something goes awry in the sky).
