For the past six months we have described our situation as “Stuck in New Zealand”. But to be honest, we have been more than happy to be here; and we really thought we could leave if we wanted to do so. Well… we can’t. What??

Traveling during the pandemic is tricky. Flights are scarce, and expensive. Think about it, fewer planes, and less seats on those planes because of the social distancing. Each country posts entry requirements (that change rapidly). And each airline interprets those rules a little differently. Some countries will not accept travelers from some other countries. Like almost nowhere in the world are Americans able to travel right now unless they are essential.

We are out of the campervan. Enjoyed it, but we were happy to give it back. We are traveling the south of the South island. We are starting to count our days left in NZ and plan some fun. Only about 6 weeks to go. It is going to be sad to leave here; this country has taken our hearts. We are really lucky to be here: no covid (knock on wood) and no other tourists to compete with, and lots of deals.

July 19th is a major milestone for us; this is the day we left home. This year I can no longer brag that we have not lost a sock. But the places we have been, and the things we have seen – now that is something to brag about.

We have been chillin in Wellington for the past few days. Chilling is the word: It is COLD. And WET. I like Wellington and could stay longer, although a few rainless, windless days would have been nice.
