Honeymoon Day 13

The long journey home started on Day 13.  We first drove from our dream-come-true hotel Blanket Bay in Glenorchy to the Queenstown airport.  From there we flew to Auckland and then onto San Francisco.  It was one of those strange things where we landed before we took off (one of the oddities of crossing the date line from west to east).

In our state of utter depression caused by returning to the real world, we didn't take many photos on Day 13 (although I did have some delicious shepherd's pie in the Air New Zealand lounge in Auckland that did lift my spirits... that and the excellent movie selection on the long flight to SFO).

Therefore, I will leave you with a photo we took on Day 12 of a rainbow.  It was quite beautiful.  New Zealand was a truly wonderful place populated by friendly, warm people.  I hope that in my lifetime I get the chance to go back.
