Yesterday, we bought a car. We have named her Jenny, after a particularly obnoxious kea bird we met at Rainbow Springs in Rotorua. Car ownership is pretty simple here; we paid cash for the car (1500 bucks, pretty good deal) and then went to the post office and paid 9 dollars to register the car under Matt's name. Third-party insurance is about 50 dollars for the year. Pretty exciting stuff!
First thing Monday morning its job hunt time. Now that we've got wheels things get a whole lot simpler. It's apple thinning season here in lovely Hawke's Bay, and jobs seem pretty plentiful. We could have worked yesterday and the day before, a horse farmer was here looking for some help, but we didn't have the car at the time.
Last night we had a campfire on the beach. You can have them whenever you want, and there's all kinds of driftwood to burn so you don't even need to bring anything with you. Ben met up with us yesterday and we all made rather merry. Me and Matt also went halfsies on a $100 guitar today so life is good!!
