Let's go...

Time to set off: at 2 degrees and fog, I calmly and relaxedly pack the last things. Good preparation and detailed time planning have paid off again, I'm perfectly on schedule. 4 weeks in NZ lie ahead of me, I fly to Christchurch via Dubai and Sydney to meet Duncan there. I will revive the bus and then wander around the South Island.

Before departure, the boys are briefed, the usual stuff (order, no bickering, heating, mail...). When taking the farewell photo, they lock themselves out right away... This could be fun, maybe I should have gotten a babysitter after all.
