Achieved by driving all the way round the South Island of New Zealand before flying home to Seattle.
And what fun it has been so far.
Since the simpletons can't do anything in a lazy manner (I reference 29 shows, 10 venue shits and 54 teaching hours in 16 days at the Adelaide Fringe for proof), it only stands to reason that we couldn't just plop down on some gorgeous New Zealand beach or mountain-side and hang for 10 days. NEEAAOOOO. In our first four days on the South Island we have driven 1500 kilometers, seen seals, dolphins, falcons and possums; the highest mountain, the coldest morning and the brightest stars; rain falling, snow falling and hail falling; bright sunshine, dark storm clouds and gale-force winds; and last night had a ripping good time with the fabulous folks at the Fortune Theatre in Dunedin.
.....and we have a week left to go!!!
Can I just say "WE LOOK FORWARD TO COMING BACK TO NEW ZEALAND".
