Still in New Zealand!
Hey,
Well sorry I haven't written for a while! I actually wrote a big group e-mail the other day saying everything we've been doing and I have no idea why it sent blank. Oh Well!
Anyway things are going well with me; although, I have been homesick the past couple days with lots of stress regarding flights and stuff. Right now we are in Paihia,
I got a job with the City of
Now I'm close to broke so we have to work for a while. We were going to go to
I guess working on the island is definitely out of the question now so it looks like we are going to work here for a bit then travel the south island for probably 3 weeks then head home for around the end of May.
Other than that we just sold our van the other day to a young couple from
Selling the 'Blue Bomber'
I just thought I would let you know that we just sold the van for $600 which is really wicked because we paid $100 for the van, $150 to the auction, $200 the other day on our last road trip on a new wheel bearing and a bit on oil so all together we figure we put about $ 500 into the van. So we travelled the entire north island in such a cheap way and the best way possible then did so well on selling it. It's great too because in NZ you have to have registration and a thing called Warrant of Fitness which is a big inspection on the vehicle to ensure it is roadworthy and both were to run out in less than a week. Because of that we were kinda worried about selling it but it just goes to show how wicked the "Blue Bomber" is. It's good cause that money will pay for our flights to Aus and sometime this week Chris and I are going to do a 12,000 ft Sky Dive for only $129. Some big special going on right now so we are really excited. We sold it to a young couple from LaRae
