Last day

It’s my last day in NZ. The packers came yesterday and everything is gone. A strong feeling of deja vu sets in. Just me in a big empty house, my laptop, a suitcase and a flight ticket for tomorrow morning. Different house, different laptop, different suitcase, different country but yet it’s all pretty much the same as all the other times I’ve moved (about 6 times).

I spent the day having lunch with a good friend and doing some shopping. I got some gift vouchers for a travel gear chainstore and bookshop. I picked up some extra socks and went back home, unwrapped them and threw a pair in the suitcase. Tried on the other pair. Fuck, too long. I double-checked the size I got - yep, that should be the right size, but it’s too long. Quite an appropriate end to my stay here, simply doesn’t fit.
