New Zealand lies far away. I
still like to write postcards and send these via snail mail, well - I use
to send the postcards by air mail (par avion). And usually the postcards
arrive prior to my return from travels in a far off country. That's the idea -
telling people you're not around for a while, because you're in East Turkestan
or Patagonia, or New Zealand. This time it has been different: I returned prior
to the poostcards. My parents, who had been in my first batch, received the
postcard this week, two months after I had mailed the card!
If you have a close look at the
stamp, you notice that the original stamp is covered by another stamp from
Brunei.
Others tell me, that a new stamp
had been glued to the postcard in Singapore. What might be the reason? The
postcards had been posted at Akaroa on two different occasions and at Lake
Tekapo, also on two different occasions. Maybe New Zealand Mail sends the
postcards to different locations throughout Asia to remail these in order to
save money. Or maybe it has been sheer bad luck.
