Postscript

I am home, in my bed. I have no checkout tomorrow, no flights, no buses to catch, trains to find, tourist things to do. 

It's been a long road, getting from there to here (which is actually the same place).

I have many tales to share, so to those of you in Auckland, reach out, let's have dinner. Just, somewhere I don't need to do research in order to be able to order food, s'il vous plaît, danke, kiitos.
