I feel like I've over-blogged the North Island in the last few days. There's so much that I've seen and experienced, I had a hard time paring down the blog content. So if you feel swamped...don't worry, I haven't much to say this time. Just a few more photos and closing thoughts. I figured that my final NZ entry needed a non-SNL opening. So here goes...

Going Global

I left Chicago heading west in the beginning of April '07 and continued going west until March 1st, 2008 when I returned to Chicago having confirmed that the world is indeed round. The stops along the way - Fiji, New Zealand, Australia, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Nepal, India, and Tanzania. As of March, 2008, I retired my backpack and posted my final entry about this journey. All the entries are still there for your reading enjoyment. Remember, the entries are shown newest to oldest.

I've Looked Better

My hair hasn't been this long in over a decade. Don't worry...it wasn't keeping it in this semi-mohawk...at least not often.

Hi from back in the US.
Marc, I knew you would love NZ, from my experiences on the north island. I look at your pix and read your notes and wish I was doing the trip. Oh well. Keep the info coming. That Rugby is nuts! Your friend Marty.

Tongariro Crossing & Canadian Rugby
I feel your pain for the Tongariro Crossing...hard to convince the wife to do it on the Honeymoon. At least she let us walk to the first climb (by that point we were drenched and cold, not standard Honeymoon fare!). And then you got to watch the All Blacks vs. Canada! So jealous! Glad you had an awesome time in NZ, can't wait to hear about AUS.
