WE GOT A VAN!!!!!!



Yep, that's our sweet ride over there. Our for the low low price of $3900 NZD, or about $2850 USD. We did the math, and if we sleep in the van for 100 nights (it's got a bed and a mattress built into the back) it'll be like finding a hostel for $15 per person per night. Which seems impossible, as the hostels in Auckland start around $90 per person. Plus all our transportation needs are met!

We've got two more nights here in Auckland to sort ourselves out and get hold of whatever gear we may need (camp stove, some basic foodstuffs, whatever), and then we'll be on the road! Up north first to enjoy the scenic beaches of Northland, then right down to the south island. Our van (soon to be named) has a rack on top, so should we acquire a kayak or some surfboards at some point, we'll be prepared. :)

Here we go!!
