Back home in Wellys 2005

Back Home in Wellington 2006

Coming home is always nice, but after five months of battling down the Nile, I was euphoric to be back in NZ. Here are some photos from my first year home...

Having been surrounded by moustached men in Africa, I was a little less dubious about growing a tache.

It was a dirty slug that I couldn't clean quick enough!
