You can't even get it through Portsmouth City Libraries 'cos I've checked. Sent you a PM may be able to help.

Just realised it's an entirely different book to the one we've got. Sorry, can't help, but these people might be able to:

Kind regards

Are you in the UK Paul?

I bought the book some months ago in a Waterstones three fro the price of two offer.

I noticed it's just been republished. They had it on display in the Travel section at my branch (Nottingham).

It's written by a chap who went out there about 15 years ago intending to teach in NZ for a year then move on to Australia.

But he liked NZ so much he stayed.

From what I can recall he finds himself at the point of wondering if he wants to stay in NZ or come back to the UK.

He decides it's best to make that decision from the standpoint of having actually seen what NZ has to offer so hitchhikes the length and breadth of the country before making his decision.

From what I recall he was settled in the South Island and ended his journey at the northenmost point of the North Island.

Dont know what Paul is getting excited about as I intend to read it first, I desperately need some light relief from 1sat year soc science degree which I am sure will be worthwhile eventually, but at the minute feels like trying to run through mud!!

I actually want to sneak a look at the end now to see what he does - oh can I resist it - keep watching this space to find out!!!!!!!

That's just happened to me with the New Zealand Road Atlas! Buggers! I've already waited 9 weeks for it, they've took the money and now they tell me it's not in stock and not likely to be. Need a drink.

(You know you need help when you get really excited at the thought of getting a road atlas, my sanity is in jeopardy.)
