Why leave Ara Roa?

Tomorrow we drive back to Auckland, then fly to Christchurch. The trans-alpine train, Rotorua and more good things are ahead, but I don't feel ready to go. I asked my soul mate why we can't just live here until our money runs out? He said no reason, really.

Hmmm... why leave?

A misty morning.

A walk with the sheep in the pasture.






A walk into the woods.



Hello to the wild turkey family passing by.


A bath in the most perfect tub.



One more sunset and later another look at the Southern Cross.
