Last New Zealand post

So today is our last day in New Zealand.
I have not posted for while so I will do a quick update.
We went climbing Last Sunday at a place called the airstrip. It was a really good day of bouldering. Lots of fun. A great many problems. The best I have climbed in a while actually. I had a blast. After we headed to Currly's bar. We have become locals at this pub since we are rather tired of traveling around and really just need someplace to kick back for while. The waitress, Marie, is really nice. I consider her my friend. At this rate anyone that I know for more than one day is my friend. It is all a matter of perspective. It gets really lonely if you don't have friends so why not consider casual acquaintances your friends when it suits your needs? So my friend Marrie is really nice. She is from Ireland. Nice girl.
Monday (20th) we headed to New Plymouth. No real reason other than it was raining and we could not climb. Nice drive around the beach a small walk and that was about it. Stayed at a place right on the beach it was cute and only $13.50 a night each. Good deal!
Tuesday we headed back to Waitomo. The weather got nice so we figured we would try to get a day or two more climbing before the trips end. Nice drive. Also got a message from a guy Named Niall Mc Sweeeny about the van. I love this name. Somehow I knew he would be the one to buy the Van. I was right by the way. Stacy and I joked a lot about it. "putting all our eggs in the McSweeny basket!!
Wednesday-Wend climbing at Froggart. It was really fun. My climbing ability is really sad at the moment. But it was still fun. Spent our last night with new van. it was sad. I am going to really miss this van!!!
Thrusday-headed to Auckland. meet up with McSweeny We were really honest with him. We told him everything that we knew was wrong with the van. It burns oil and may need a new tire soon. He was more than happy to buy the van. We gave him a great deal 1600, but hell we only payed 1750 so it was a good deal all around. good thing because I was out of money!! Now it is McSweeny Van! Fun stuff.
Friday-Went to Museum. I am not a fan of Cities. Would much rather be in the great outdoors.
Saturday-Shopping for gifts. I hate shopping.
Sunday-last day and I am sitting her writing in my blog!! See you all soon.
Next update with be in Samoa. I might be drunk!!!
