This is the bustling city on the bottom of the north island.  Some of you in Truckee might remember a Kiwi named Todd.  He lives here now with his sweet girlfriend Sara.  Today I tried my luck busking down on Cuba Street.  I made $30 bucks.  Not too shabby for playing a little music.  So I have a dilemma.  If I bring my car over on the ferry to the south island it will cost me $120 plus a $50 fare ticket.  The car doesn’t run too well and I’m not sure just how long it will last me.  In fact it could breakdown at any time really… rolleyes  I could sell the car here and do the rest of the trip by train.  However, it would be difficult to get to some of the rock climbing crags without a vehicle.  Hmmm.....I’m not sure what to do.  Gas is REALLY expensive, about $1.45 a liter.  This country is costing me quite a bit more than I expected!  The freedom of a car is nice though and it’s great to not have to lug my backpack and guitar around all the time...and it’s a nice place to hide out in when it rains!  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
