ON AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND…
We
have been floating
down here in the
Pacific Ocean for the
past 60 days. I guess in the
grand scheme
of the world, Australia and New Zealand have much
in common...but my list is pretty short:
- Plastic
money
- Yummy
cookies
- No
highways
- Natural
beauty
- Good
hiking
trails
- Love
of rugby
- Lack of toothpaste options
- Lack of toothpaste options
- Internet
access inferiority
There's
more that they
don't have
in common. New Zealand doesn't
have any snakes while Australia
has 17 of the world's 20 most poisonous. New Zealand is charming
in unfamiliar ways;
Australia feels more every day…more like America.
These two countries reminded us of brothers. Australia is the older brother who doesn't even mention New Zealand.
New Zealand is the
younger
brother
who
makes fun of Australia. We'll let them work that out between themselves.
ON OUR STATE OF WELL-BEING…
Are
we tired of traveling? NO! In a strange
way, living out of a campervan for these past 5 weeks has felt the
most like home since we left 9 months ago.
Our batteries are recharged. Just like with South
America, we know we have
a big culture shock
coming our way when
we land in Bangkok. We are looking forward it. We want to dive back into a
culture completely unlike our own one last time before we come back to the US. We are rounding third and heading for
home!
