So far north.

So far not got great things to say about the north island. Its just been city, town, city town, town, All with shops I cant afford to go in and restaurants who tease me with there smell trying to prise open my wallet with promises of tasty food. I'm still saving the cash by eating cheap food but i'm traveling as light as possible so i have no stove to heat food meaning I'm stuck with peanut butter sandwich for breakfast, tuna sandwich for lunch and cold beans for dinner. Been looking out for a van to drive and house me but not been able to find a cheap one yet. Ash had a car we where living in which he bought for 350 nzd which is about 150 gbp was a retro hunk of junk but the seats fully reclined so was a real good place to sleep.
However as you might be able to see from the picture he insisted on running a give way sign which resulted in the door being crippled in, and yer i was sat in the passenger seat. not having insurance he is worried about the cost he might have to pay for the other vehicle to be fixed, as for his car he persuaded the police man to let him drive it to a scrap yard, however it was far from road worthy. We spent the last night in that car outside a breakers yard with a duckt taped up window and traffic wizzing by, living the dream.

Yer Bro, Sweet bro, yer bro, hard.

Welcome to The North

Made it to the north island. The difference is noticeable but probably enhanced by the fact that in order to get here you take a ferry from the small sleepy town of Picton and it takes you direct into the heart of Wellington, the second largest city in New Zealand. However as city's go this one is one of the more chilled out, No way near as busy as any city in England the pase is still a lot slower and I am able to spend three days there without losing my clam.

Squatting

Check out our first place in NZ. Been here a few days has electric, running water, boiler and sinks, best of all its free. Just down from a group of people we keep meeting on our travels this 'home' of ours has kept us warm in the windy nights. The graffiti on the inside of the house is really cool. Moving on tomorrow heading for the north island. Via a few scenic stops.
