You'll be pleased to hear this is only a short one 
With the last post clocking in at around 8,500 words I not only feel thoroughly purged but a little guilty, too. Some of that was actually worth reading, you see, and the only weay to find out was to sacrifice your precious life-seconds wading through it all - so, let the record show I exhibit remorse for this cruel act.
All I wanted to do now was let folks know (if any of you still care) that I am off again to see and do a little more merry wandering; Saturday morning I leave for Austria and intend to spend a little over three weeks heading West to Switzerland, with an entertaining diversion or two along the way, namely Munich and Salzburg.
And I STILL have bloody post from New Zealand to get out. Honestly, I am ashamed, I really am.
It's pretty much a given that I'll lose interested, get distracted by something shiny (eg: Switzerland) and bang on about that without hide nor hair of the Wellington, Napier and associated witterings for months yet.
Still, in some ways it is for the best, I suppose. You wont have to waste that much of your existence again until the end of Summer.
