Today was my final day in New Zealand! I woke early and gave Alex a ring on the hostel pay phone. We had made plans the night before to head to the beach before I went to the airport. Alex and some pals picked me up and took me to his favorite beach, which is where he also met Heather for the first time long ago. How fitting! It was a gorgeous spot and the weather was perfect. We enjoyed the morning relaxing at the beach, before I returned to the city to catch the airport shuttle to the airport (duh). I pestered Alex that he has to come to the states soon so that I can return the generous hospitality he has shown to me. He assured me that he wanted to come to the states as soon as possible. Heather and I are both ready to entertain Alex, and any other Kiwi for that matter. As much fun as it is to explore a new world, it's just as much fun to help other's discover your own.
My time in new Zealand was beyond incredible. But now it was time to embark on a new adventure, this time alone. That evening I boarded a flight to Cairns, Australia. I was about to embark on a three week journey down the east coast of Australia from Cairns all the way back to Sydney. Operation backpacker, explorer and traveler was in high gear!

I just don't know if I can take any more. But I'll gladly try. Bring on the next chapter.
