I stopped in Hamilton to meet Christina who wanted to buy my car - and did. This was a major relief and a good result to something that had given me lots of sleepless nights! So now i have some money to arrive in Sydney with and Ollie has gone to a good home. Thank you Ollie for your companionship and reliability. I swear that car has a soul!

Now i am in Auckland and have decided to just get to Syd asap as there's no point hanging around here. The NZ chapter is closed and there's lots more to see and do. WOHOO!

p.s. Thank you NZ for your specialness and great scope for endless hyperbole! Do i recommend this country for anyone and everyone? What do you think?
