Tauranga

It has been a few days since I arrived here in Tauranga. I am still trying to get set up with everything but that just takes some time. Since I got here I purchased a cell phone so that will allow us to keep in contact with employers and other travelers along the way.

The next big purchase is going to be a vehicle for the time spent in New Zealand. We talked to many people about the right way of going about traveling and everyone suggested getting a vehicle to travel around. The only other options would be Bus, train or try to hitchhike. Buses are very expensive for traveling around the entire country and they also don't take you everywhere you want, trains are apparently useless over here because there are not enough routes that they take.

The vehicle will be for under $2000NZD so that is less than getting around by bus right there for a month. Insurance is also cheaper over here being under $200 for the year. That is one month of payments back in Canada.

Last night we ended up playing some pictionary and it turned out to be a hilarious night because I can't draw and the guesses had everyone laughing.

Meeting people. Seeing the sites. Living the dream.

Until next time.
