Oy Vey

The bus problems started two nights ago. I told Anna the bus will pick me up in Manutuke 5 min down the road so she didn't have to drive all the way into town. She replied ok and we will leave at 9:35. Super early for a 9:50 bus so I figured she had something to pick up before. Wrong. We went all the way into town and then she was all surprised bc apparently I told her to go there as I had said to go to the 'usual place'. Uhh no if you have only been somewhere once you can't say usual place. So we miss the bus. No big I book another one for the next day. It drives right past me, luckily it realizes its mistake and circles round. Though upset I'm standing in the wrong spot. Listen dude there is no sign for the bus this is a gas station. There is no allocated spot. Bro. Travel 3 hrs to Napier where the connecting bus is to leave at 1:15 and we arrive at 1:20. The driver tells me not to worry. I am. One hour later the bus still isn't there, it had driven off without 4 of its passangers, classy. We are driven to another city to be picked up by another bus to continue south. Hallelujah we make it. Offered apologises and 25% off the next bus ticket. Please I'll be needed full reimbursement not $5 -10 off.

Germans don't have scones. I think that's odd considering they always brag about their bread.

driving through NZ affirms the fact that dinosaurs really did exist (not that there was any doubt).
