Just thought I’d bid you all farewell. As I’m off!

On Tuesday I will be flying from T3 Heathrow for a week in Malaysia to chill, then onwards to New Zealand for 12 months. The plan is to see as much of NZ as possible although I will be working for the majority of the time in order to survive. I have a job lined up… driving!! I can hardly wait, its in the south Island which is the size of England with only one million inhabitants!!! Traffic free km’s!!

I’ll try and keep looking in on this site whilst I’m out there. Perhaps post a anecdote or two whilst I’m at it!

Drive safe all of you.

Good luck Placid, I know you will be impressed with everything. I have my daughter out there, she has married a kiwi and is so happy with her life style. If you are prepared to work hard you will make a decent life for yourself out there. Keep in touch with all of us if and when you can and let us know which area in the south island you will be staying in.
BON VOYAGE
