Got up fairly early and extended my stay one night, then had a shower and some munch and the three of us headed back to the car market to see what the deal with Albert was, as we suspected, not great news, he told us we needed about $1500 dollars worth of work for it to pass the WOF so he said in the current condition he could offer us $600, we just didn't want the hassle of fixing it then struggling for a sale so we took the cash and gave Albert to the garage, s...

Woke up to a glorious morning in Bay of Islands, was a bit sad to be leaving today, we had breakfast with the Canadian guys and then we packed up all our gear into our rucksacks as we were going to take Albert to the garage to get a quote when we arrived back in Auckland, we hit the road when we were packed and after a couple hour drive we stopped off to check out the water falls on the way back, a little while after this we then stopped for lunch at a picnic spo...

I decided to trudge into town to enquire about diving, it was fai...

Woke up early after a fairly crap nights sleep, we had to move Albert so we all checked out fairly early and got him a bit out of town so we didn't get any tickets! We then took a wonder around town and put up posters in the hostels so that we can possibly make a sale! We then updated his gumtree page and then after a quick lunch we packed up our gear and hit the road to Bay of Islands, it was a couple hour drive, we stopped off about half way through to ask abou...
