Selling the car and hanging at the Aloe Tree hostel
Well, I made it back in the states. However, technically, I don’t leave from Auckland till 2:30pm this afternoon. Ain’t time travel grand! 
Oh, ended up selling the car with 2 hours to spare yesterday for $1300, only 200 less then we bought it for. Meaning I traveled all through NZ for only $100 bucks plus gas and stuff. Not too shabby. Although I didn’t get to go to Rangitoto as a result, that’ll give me a reason to come back.
I did a lot of hanging out with peeps in the hostel. Met a really cool girl named Rebecca from Israel. We went to go see a movie together and watched A LOT of movies in the hostel.
Hung out with a german girl named Sarah who was astonished everytime I would open a door for her. I guess southern manners are not world wide.
Met a german guy named Rolph who gave me a book to read, “Hot Zone,” about the Ebola virus which he’d gotten from someone else. (In the months afterwards, I would read it and pass it along to someone else)
Leigh and I were able to atleast part ways amiably with a hug and a smile. I apologize for what I said earlier, we were both pretty stressed out with each other. It happens sometimes when you travel.
I took a cab back to Melanie’s from the airport cause I didn’t want to make anyone miss work to pick me up. And my beautiful car was there waiting for me. Thanks again to Melanie for storing it for me while I was gone. I owe her big time! I slept alot of the cab ride and read Hot Zone which Rolph had given me before I realized we were driving on the right side of the road. I was trying to retrain my mind, but it was wierd. Let’s hope I can get myself back in the habit before I kill someone. Well, that’s all she wrote folks. That’s New Zealand. Can’t wait to see all of you again, most of you at the party on Saturday. Until next time, this is Zach’s Travels signing off.
