We wandered around Napier for a while on a warm, sunny day. We ended up walking along the ocean. Even though I didn't get to spend that much time with them since we were heading different directions, we had a good time.

As I mentioned earlier, they were living in Switzerland. Istvan was a physiotherapist while living in the land of mountains and chocolate. Valerie is a physiotherapist in Switzerland too. Though I didn't mention her by name, I did tell them that I had been traveling with a Swiss physiotherapist for several weeks. I would later find out that these three knew each other Istvan worked with Val. While visiting Valerie in Switzerland, we were riding in the streets of her hometown and she pointed out an apartment where Isabelle and Istvan had lived. A small world indeed.

I've kept up with these two quite a bit over the years.  The last time I saw them was when I was living in Argentina.  They were in Buenos Aires for a bit and we got together there.  Got to meet their daughter too.  Things change, don't they?
