It really is weird being in Auckland without Kara. I'm not staying at the first hostel we came to a year ago, but I am on the same road, and I spent some time walking up and down Ponsonby while taking care of errands. Memories! If only I had known what wonderful experiences were in store... I would have been even more excited. :p I got a bit melancholy to be leaving, I'm not going to lie.
I've taken care of my taxes and made some good headway on other need-to-dos. I've got 5 days in Auckland to finish everything up, but that should leave plenty of time for some fun too! :)
