Gday good palmy north folks. I’ve found myself quite unprepared for my stay here in terms of being ignorant to advice of renting a car. Long story short I’m budget travelling and unfortunately find myself face to face with a $50 uber each way from city centre to tawa loop and back. This debacle currently means that I won’t be able to walk the track I came to palmy for. I unfortunately don’t have the time to walk 9hrs out there each way either. Google isn’t showing me public transport options so I am relying on you now, my dear advisors and hopefully public transport enthusiasts. Is there a bus that goes out there from the city? Or are there any other options that work for a stingy ass traveller? I have much appreciation to anyone that can educate or entertain me. You’re a funny bunch I’ll give ya that - back home I was mainly warned about the way you show uhhhhhh lovin to your precious sheep and I’ve been so pleasantly surprised to find only beauty and laughs in all corners of aotearoa and inhabitants. I’ll tell you now I will be defending your sheeply habits when I return to my homeland.

sincerely and with love - A Blow In From Across The Pond
