I am sorry to say that the posts in my blog will be fewer and farther in between. There are reasons for this.
1. Internet access is not as widely/cheaply available in NZ as it is back at home. It really takes a concerted effort to get online and update the blog.
2. As I'm getting accustomed to life in NZ, I am less interested in tourist attractions and activities. However, I am still a sight-seer, and NZ is phenomenally beautiful, so I will take and post photos sporadically. Life here for me is normalizing, and I am realizing that this is less of a holiday/vacation than it is a new life for me. So what happens in my day-to-day life is becoming more private, less "blog-worthy." Of course if you want the details, you just have to ask. I just choose not to post it on the world-wide-web.
3. I'm sure there are more, but my time on the internet is limited as I type! I hope you get the point.
I am returning to Auckland this weekend, and will have a mobile phone and car before I leave. I'll post another update with details on where I'm headed next.
