Hi Everyone, You all may or more probably dont know (quite rubbish at updates now) we are now in Australia and have been for over 2 weeks so here is a quick catch up of our last week in NZ. After finishing work we drove all the way up the north island back to Auckland to sell Bob. So after a week spent putting poster up in the hostels, re putting up even more posters and reducing the price about a million times. We eventually sold him the day before we were due...
