It is difficult to say goodbye to our WellShare family. We had a nice dinner Friday night with staff and shared toasts. Staff said we should make this our first home, not our second (it isn’t going to happen). We received beautiful gifts to treasure always. While we miss family and friends, there is also a strong pull to this beautiful country and its wonderful people.
That same day we had an amazing surprise. As you may remember from our last entry, someone squeezed through a window to steal our two iPods, binoculars, and our (fortunately) backup camera.
With a long face, Jolene told us there was a problem getting our police report. Then her expression turned to a grin as she told us why. Culprits broke into the home of a government official here, and he went into high gear to track down his goods. The good news for us is his thieves were our thieves.
The Karatu police recovered our stolen items and returned all but the camera on Friday, and the camera is on the way! We were told by a couple of people the police would find our goods, but we were doubtful. What a nice cap to a wonderful trip!
