Our thoughts have turned towards packing, with the weekly supermarket shop including items for our time away in NZ. Toiletries and insect repellant were high on the list of priorities, along with a few small gifts for family members we will visit while in Auckland.
The serious packing will take place later in the week before an early morning departure at the weekend. We need to pack for a few days in Auckland followed by a few days walking on the Milford Track. The yet-to-be-answered question is how much of the walking gear can be worn while visiting Auckland? If space is at a premium, the answer will be, “most of it”!
