$900

The honda Civic Shuttle cost us $900 NZ dollars, which comes out to about $650-700 American dollars. Pretty sweet deal! Driving on the other side of the road is pretty intense, but I think I will get the hang of it before too long. The mechanic told us to treat it like our grandmother and it will run forever! We are staying in Auckland tonight for the All Blacks rugby game. The All Blacks are NZ's national team, and they are playing Austrailia tonight. The town apparently goes ape shit! Then tomorrow we start our journey south. We have picked up one extra passenger, a girl named Erin Fredericks from Sonoma, CA. She seems cool enough to split gas with us. The open road is calling my name! Also my number out here is 021 782 597. I believe the country code is 64. Cell phone are expensive as hell out here, but all incoming calls are free. So if any one wants their spirits lifted by the sweet sound of Andy's voice, drop me a line. Just remember that we are 16 hours ahead of you guys on the east coast. Keep up the posts, it is nice to hear from everyone at home!
