When you're alone, and life is making you lonely, you can always go...

Three days in country today. A brief update for those of you who are keeping score.

Here's the car we bought in Auckland. It's a 2004 Subaru Forester LL Bean. We are the first NZ owners, which means the last person to own it was Japanese. He put a bit of work into it, including a fairly high end TV/DVD/Navigator/Back up cam/who knows what else. Unfortunately, the thing only speaks Japanese, so it is not of much use for us.


During our two days in Auckland, we happened upon what's left of the original cemetary. Nico did not think this was even a little funny, and got mad at me for taking the picture.


And a quick stop at the Auckland zoo. I do not quite get the kiwi sense of humour. Tortoises however, are the same all over.
