Surf Sessions = 16
Km Driven = 6283
Today we bade farewell to "Chewbacca", our 1996 Honda Odyssey. George drove it to Turner's Auto Auction and handed the keys over (no title, registration papers or "pink slip" required! Apparently all of it is computerized here in NZ). We are told we will probably get $1500-2000 NZ for it; we paid $3800 for it in Christchurch and had a guaranteed buy-back from the dealer for $2800 so we were a bit disappointed at the prognosis. Alas, it was what it was. It is only money and not really that much anyways (we paid just over $3K US and may get $1.6K US...a rental would've cost us over $3K!) The gentleman was very nice to George and he took a cab back to the backpackers where we were staying at the airport. We spent the rest of the day and evening repacking our bags to accommodate the extra weight of what we acquired in NZ.
Ciao to Chewy and onward to Oz tomorrow!
