Tired of seeing pictures of Tim wearing that green shirt? Think it’s time that Joanie gives up that black hooded sweatshirt? You are in luck! We leave NZ tomorrow and will be reunited with the rest of our clothes!
Sadly, we left the brewery on Tuesday morning after enjoying our last few organic beers on Monday night. We have seen so many incredible places here in New Zealand and have met so many wonderful people along the way, but thanks to the Trigg family the brewery will always be the most memorable part of our trip to New Zealand. Unfortunately we don’t have much time here on the internet before we go, so our last thoughts about New Zealand will have to wait until another time. The smog and traffic of LA should give us plenty of time and perspective to do that!
Instead, here are some quick facts and figures about the past 5 months in Kiwi land!
