Never been to New Zealand - it does sound so lovely. Ferries are great! I take a ferry to work across the Mersey most days - it's just the best way of starting and findishing the work day.

This is bringing back fond memories of visiting New Zealand.

And of the Gosport ferry!

(I’m on the IW, so ferries are an important part of life!)

I’ve very much enjoyed this final dispatch from New Zealand as well as many of your earlier ones, John. Your collective itinerary for 2025 is sure to afford further adventures, with writing and speaking opportunities to share.

Beautiful photos and descriptions. New Zealand has some Nirvana-like qualities for sure, and not confined to its natural beauty.
