The only problem with relying on public libraries for internet access is that they serve so many people, time limits are enforced when using the computers. Which is a not very clever way of saying that despite our having lots more to say about Australia and meeting a very lovely set of relatives, we're off to New Zealand this morning. We're due to spend two nights in Auckland (on the north island) before flying to Christchurch (on the south island), where we'll spend another two nights before we wallow in the thrill of not having to pack up our tent every morning because the set of parents who didn't give us the generous gift of a new camera, instead gave us the generous gift of a week in timeshare. And you better believe we're not going to do a damn thing the whole time. Except bake and read and watch TV. Ah, the decadence.
