Heh, I’m kidding. I’m done.
Thank you to all of you for following along and commenting over the past few weeks.
With the speed at which this year has flown by, I’m hardly surprised that the trip is over.
I’ve never tried to explore my local area as if I had just arrived on a tight time schedule, so I’m going to do some local touristy things and learn a bit more about my home.
My next Aussie destination might just be Tasmania. I’ve heard great things, mostly from Brits and Kiwis, about riding through the mountains there.
I learned a lot about myself and discovered some more of what makes me tick.
– I love motorcycling, in all manner of conditions.
– Crisp, face numbing alpine air makes my heart happy.
– I find wide open spaces relaxing.
– When push comes to shove, I’ll chose Indian takeaway over anything else.
And now that I’ve had some experience using motorcycle panniers and a top box, I have a much better idea of what I’d like to do to make Hilda capable of carrying and storing gear.
I’m back, with renewed purpose and drive and a tonne of gratitude. It’s time to wind down 2019 with that energy on show.
As for NZ – I saw a tiny, tiny part of this amazing world and I must say, the people who reside there are doing a great job with it. Please do go check it out.
If you’re interested in doing so by motorcycle, have a chat to South Pacific Motorcycle Tours, who’ll give you a 10% discount for saying I sent you there 👍
Accomplished: New Zealand. South Island. November 2019. One man, one motorcycle and a heck of a lot of discovery, inside and out.
