I have been silent for an entire month. I have seen the vast majority of the South Island, including approximately 85,000 waterfalls. I have had guests for three weeks. I have seen 40,000 Metallica fans from a grandstand in a scene reminiscent of Nuremberg. I am utterly exhausted, and I am a mere twelve hours away from another week at work. What happened to this 'relaxing holiday' idea?
