"You Wouldn't Believe It..."

Sunday has come and passed.

"You wouldn't believe it..." unless you were in Paihia, in which case you hear these stories all the time. I missed my bus back to Auckland. Then I missed Jam Night. I woke up this morning, still in Paihia.

I AM STILL IN PAIHIA.

It cost me so much money to be here, and to stay here. I am still paying for my room in Auckland. I paid bus fare for the bus I didn't take. I am drinking lots of beer. So.. at this rate, it looks like I will need to find a job sooner than expected. But that bus fare... may have been the best money I ever spent. Wasted.

If I say I'll write again when I return to Auckland, I may never submit another post. So, suffice it to say that today I am in Paihia, and I don't know what tomorrow or the day after will bring.

I am still happier than ever. And absolutely none of it was ever part of my plan.
