Another lovely day - have been so blessed with the weather on this holiday. Continental breakfast included in the room rate and a few photos of the mountains before leaving. Made my way back to the Inland Highway and continued up to Amberley via a stop at the Rakaia Gorge for a wee wander. This road did take longer than the main highway so allow time. Then continued driving as looking forward to a stop at one of my most favourite spots in the world - The Store at Kekerengu. Had a coffee and very late snack here and another wander around. Its the environment here that I love as well as how The Store looks.
It was a truly wonderful time away - lot of soul searching done and although didn't decide to make many changes in life because overall I am ok and content enough with living where i\I am it was good to have the time to think and consider where I am and where I am going. Alone time was sometimes hard but also good. Decided I needed to continue travelling the place where I was born as equally as fulfilling as travelling to other countries - minus the experiencing of a totally different culture and way of living which I do gain a lot from. (and I save an airfare). Doesnt stop me having a yearning for Cuba though - soon.....
