Wellington

We spent a few hectic but comfortable days staying with Carolyne's (of Tarras) niece, Karen and her family while we looked for somewhere to live. Then once we found somewhere and moved in we had some further hectic days furnishing it with visits to surplus auctions, garage sales, school galas and of course Trade Me (eBay).


Day 1 - Unloading the van


Dining in style


Well its a slight upgrade on the van


Day 2 - View from the deck


5 months of growth
Back to normal

Cleaning all the stuff we brought from the school gala (3 bags of White Elephant for $20 providing we take it back once we start replacing it)

Getting there (establishing the priorities -music and internet)

Our one extravegance was two bikes to enjoy the multitude of mountain bike trails for venturing into the bushy hills around the city...

Picnic in the Hutt Valley

...which now means that Bongo has now been demoted from home to bike transporter
