Tom and Micki, my family friends, left this morning for Auckland, and onto the rest of their holiday; I'll miss them!
So I'm trying to get some wheels to move about the countryside as I feel a bit stranded. I've been tossing up the idea of getting a campervan which would allow me to save on lodging as I could sleep in the back. It would also give me a bit of personal space, like a sanctuary if you will, and be my home away from home. However, I've found its a little hard to find a decent looking van here in Wellington for a good price. So, I've thrown in the idea of just getting a car or station wagon type vehicle to save $$ on gas mileage and size. Also, it would be a bit more economical for when I settle down, and would handle much better on mountain passes and roads. Hmmm, I'm still undecided...
For your visual pleasure, here's a few photos I took on a sunny day in the Wellington harbor from the ferry.

Hi Rob!
If you're tallying votes, I would say go with the station wagony option. Though it would be nice in some ways to sleep in a van, you will miss out on the interesting people that always seem to be staying in hostels. I made a couple of new friends when I was in Europe this summer that I'm still emailing once a week or so.

Hey Rob,
Sorry I am a bit late in greeting you. I am myself in India vacationing with my family. Seems like you are pretty much set with things, but in case you need any help, you know whom to call.
Take care,
Rahul
