ventaMorning. I'm home again.
The brief version:
New Zealand - absolutely beautiful. A lovely country full of mountains, trees, enormous open spaces and friendly people. The landscape is both stunning and variable - everything from rainforest to thermal regions of exploding bubbly mud.
New Orleans - after a few initial reservations ("oh my God, how tacky is that"), I'm also heavily in favour of the French Quarter (which was really all I saw of the city). An amazing place for just pottering around, looking at things, listening to music, eating and drinking. So I did.
New York - after initial hostilities, NY and I agreed to observe a cautious truce; it showed me both nice things and unpleasant things about itself, and snowed like a bastard.
The long (and undoubtedly tedious) version will turn up over the course of however long it takes me to write it. Right now I'm about to go and catch a train home, to go to a weekend of dancing in Leyland, Lancashire.
