The car!

After Auckland we headed back to Whangaparaoa for a couple of days, but the weather was pretty bad with a passing storm so not a great deal got done. On the 15th we went to Mairangi bay which is still on the outskirts of Auckland. By this point I had about decided a car was needed because trying to catch buses was proving annoying since although they were very cheap, they weren't very reliable. We were staying with one of Holly's relatives called Karen who was so nice! Her daughter, Maxine who was our age spent most of the day taking us around various car places before we finally found Turner's Car Auction where we found a little Nissan. After a lot of looking, test-driving, and bidding I got it for £1200. Its only got 93000KM (58000 miles ish) on the clock though it is nearly as old as me as it's from 1996! However it does have air-con and is automatic so can't complain!
