First of all, after a long, stressful day of figuring out how to get access to some cash, here is my new car:
Thanks for the name suggestions, Esther... I'll probably see how she (or he Es, but I think cars are usually considered to be female) drives for a few days and then decide, but ideas are nice. I had my first experience of driving on the wrong side of the road today, which isn't as hard/weird as I expected... maybe all my work towards left-handedness has something to do with that?
Here is the park across the street from the cafe:
It rained today, which made me question my plan for the next couple days of going up north to the beach, but the guy at the hostel said that since it rained so much today, it is likely to be nice for the next few days, so the plan is still in place! Hopefully I will get some better pictures up there, there isn't much exciting about another city. But the hostel had this nice piece on its wall by my room:
And here is Auckland's ferry building:
Just a little bit on food:
On the street by my hostel there are two places that seemed unavoidable - Burgers Wisconsin, which claims to have the best burgers in the world, and a pizza place that claims to have the best pizza in the world! I would feel like Elf trying to impress that girl (was it Zoe Deschanel?) with coffee if I brought someone to the burger place, but the pizza was pretty enjoyable, I must say.
By far the most common food in Auckland is sushi. There have to be 10 sushi place on each block! I don't know how they all stay in business! Normally I'm not the hugest sushi fan, but the german couple that sold me their car wanted to get some after the transaction was closed, so I accompanied them, and it was pretty tasty. I got a variety box, which had some rolls I had never seen before, including one with pineapple and avocado, and one with tuna salad and bell pepper! Strange.
