Me too. We used to do a lot of tramping- our youngest was 3 when he did his first 2 day tramp carrying his own lunch and sweatshirt in his little pack. It took us 2 hours everyday to walk to playcentre and 2 hours to get home back them so he was well used to using his feet! Walking is not something I do much of here (except on a treadmill!) and I miss it tho thankfully usually our holidays require plenty of it and in some pretty spectular locations too.
For various reasons I've lived in 5 countries and travelled in quite a few in between. As such, most of my life is about exploring new ideas, discovering wonderful things and people, and food!I live in New Zealand, one of the most beautiful places on the planet, but my spiritual home is in Asia. This blog is simply my general ramblings to entertain my good friends, family, and myself. I am always happy to receive comments.
Enjoying my new space! See recent post for address.
what I'm reading now
Eat, Pray, Love Elizabeth Gilbert
I'm partly reading this because I feel like I should for some reason and partly because she's coming to the Auckland Reader's and Writer's Festival, which I'm getting involved in this year. But, I have to say I'm having a hard time getting in to it. Some parts are good and some parts are excruciating. I don't think I was the target audience.

Happy Auckland Day to you. Hope you have a great day. What a beautiful photo. Oh to be able to see, smell and hear the sea. What a joy!
Beautiful.
Thank you for all your comments!
Tramping!! Beam: that is such a kiwi word! I love it! And it looks like a beautiful day out there too.
Thanks, Niamh. Isn't language just the coolest thing? I love all the variations.
