Still doing our thing but thinking of home

It's the morning of 24 March - a lovely one again - and I'm in the library at Thames on the Coramandel Peninsula. Thames is a laid back town on a big watery inlet called the Firth of Thames. There are lots of mud flats and Lawson has gone birdwatching; I'll be joining him on the other side of the estuary, at Miranda, this afternoon.
We now have only 4 days left in New Zealand and have been obliged to start thinking about the journey home. We will be flying out of Auckland, just up the road, on Thursday evening.
It's as if Tim knows the end of the journey is approaching because we're having a smashing time; plates, cups, bits of van are breaking,cracking,chipping.
Most of our clothes are dirty now and buttons are missing from everything; they've been tested to the limit by life on the road - and by the one setting most washing machines on campsites seem to be stuck on.
But we've had a wonderful time and intend to keep it up to the end. I'll go on blogging too until I've finished my account of our journey (which may not be until after I arrive home). I hope you'll stay with me.
