one year ago to the day in New Zealand . . .

Sad day when you have to go and say arrividerci
The eyes mist over and become very teary
lastly raising a glass of bubbly with some berries
when we go over – we will be at their mercy

They met people and finding new places all terrific
to be home again and considering living sane
across the equator  they flew  in a big plane
hoping they will return in a future day specific

Two Austrians were flying out on the day of Waitangi
it is celebrated as our National Holiday
one we left in Dunedin for an extended stay
where black pudding and haggis not part of a Hangi
