We headed back to New York, in preparation for heading to Brazil for the year.

Here are some of my fave trip photos. It all goes by so fast …

At some point I might do something more involved, but here are some initial clips from the trip.

Periodically I did some time-lapse. I found doing them really relaxing, when not being trampled by beach cows or yaks, which happened. Clips are from Nepal, India, New Zealand and Fiji …

Here is some swimming with bajillions of dolphins in Kaikoura, New Zealand. Playful little devils, they distracted me and stole my wallet …

And more swimming, this time us with some fishies ….

And a – apparently seriously deadly – scorpion at Wadi Rum, Jordan. Just where I was sitting …

Oh Man. Beautiful FIJI! We had a great time here, surfing (badly) our behinds off.

One last time back at our Friends’ place.

An early and calm ferry ride to the North Island, we then headed to Rotorua.

After Kaikoura, we drove to Golden bay and Nelson, for some spit, wine and paddling action.

The bottom of New Zealand was beautiful …. but rainy and wet. After a night in Dunedin, we decided to leg it all the way back up to Kaikoura, to stay again with our friend Tony at the mini backpackers. Again, we had some great surf days.
