4/19 With Mixed Emotions - Departing NZED, onward Singapore

Wow woah!  The day has come to leave New Zealand.  Three months has gone by quite fast.  Good food and GREAT people!  Since I left off last in my blog,  I did the Tongariro Crossing (Mt. Doom from Lord of the Rings)  with 5 friends from Israel and my brother.  Yes, I destroyed the Ring of Saruman, saved the world, no big deal,  my apartment smells of rich mahogany and many leather bound books.  I sadly ran over an opossum with my van, but I guess that's food for the birds - the circle of life.  I fell off a unicycle.  I traveled the North island with my, Yael, from Israel.  We went to Coromandel and cooked fresh mussels.  I got a flat tire, a random guy and wife stopped to help and gave me a bage of weed.  Kiwi hospitality and friendliness is exceptional.  Explored Abby caves, sighting glowworms on the ceiling that look like a starry night sky.  I was on the edge of the world at Cape Reinga where you can see the Tasman sea and the Pacific Ocean meet.  I made it back out to Raglan for a few remaining days and now I'm heading off to Singapore.  It should be a great ride!  I'll try and post pictures soon.  Lots of love to all back home!
