24th of March, 2007[written two days later] Back on the bus for another morning. Our road time today is about five hours, of which we’ve covered about half as I write, heading to Wellington from Taupo.

I’ve never had to buy any furniture before. Ever. I’ve never walked into a furniture store willingly.
