Nelson - back to the real world, and the cat

Saturday, July 13, 2019
Nelson, Nelson, New Zealand
Saturday 13 July
We had time to kill at Changi, then an 8 ½ hour flight to Auckland – Pete slept maybe five hours, I slept less than one; that’s typical for us both, and we both slept on the flight down to Nelson.
Karin had moved on to her next house-sit by the time we got home, and walking into the house it was like the good fairy had spring-cleaned everything, wonderful!  
And Spider the cat was asleep in his chair; from memory that’s where he was when we left him six weeks ago but photos have shown us that he did move as far as the sunny patches on the living room floor.
Thank you for sharing our adventures during our six week holiday.
Lastly I have some advice for travellers – never leave home without:
  • A cell phone that will take a local SIM card
  • Packing cubes – makes finding things in your bag so much easier
  • A stretchy clothes line
  • Sunlight soap
  • An all-purpose rubber sink plug
  • A wedge doorstopper – needed if you’re in a dodgy hotel or guesthouse
