thats the one. well i am baci in auckland after a tearful and rather painful, goodby to annika, and a hellish 7 hour long bus journy.the momant i walked into the acb backpackers i was covered in a clammy sweat, i felt faint and dizzy and my eyes hurt. godcurse this place and the fact that i have to stay there as it is so central.

i feel rather bad about leaving annika on her lonesome, most distressing. i have half a mind to shunt my ticket again, but it is too late now. crap.
