We Are Leaving Auckland - We Bought a Car - Please Send Mix Tapes

Two days ago, we landed in Auckland, New Zealand. We have spent just over 48 hours enjoying the city.

We bought a car.

Ben is about to get on a plane to house-sit in Wellington (bottom of the North Island), while Joanna drives off to adventure in the upper parts of the North Island. They will meet up in about one month. We would be delighted if any of our creative and tasteful friends wanted to send us a mix tape that we could listen to while driving around NZ in our new used car (which used to live in Japan!) We mean real magnetic tape inside a plastic cassette, OK? Ben will have a stable address for a month, and if you e-mail him, he'll give it to you. Thank you, kind people, in advance.

We'll tell you all about Auckland later, but just now, Ben's got a plane to catch!
