Epilogue
Blijf op de hoogte en volg Rudy
14 Mei 2015 | Nieuw Zeeland, Auckland
We have driven some 8200 km through this fantastic country in 51 days. I can recommend it to everybody.
We were lucky to be able to swap our camper with Hank and Gemma. That made it a lot less expensive and allowed us to travel more relaxed. Meeting the ex “Ebury street Gang” members after 30 years was heart-warming. It shows that after so many years you can pick up where you left off. You change on the outside but character and mannerism’s are still very much the same. Wiser maybe, but still young at heart.
Traveling in the train back to Assen from Schiphol and looking at the flat green landscape we were thinking of NZ. The trees are so much more beautiful. The Dutch ones look like thin sticks. NZ ones have character. The hills and mountains give you a new vista after every corner you turn. New Zealand is a country for the young and adventurist (which Rudy was) but also for the older nature lovers (which we are). The climate is a lot milder then Northern Europe. We can understand why you all have resisted the temptation to leave (permanently). Why should you!
