NEW HOME SWEET HOME

We upload this blog entry while overlooking a game of cricket at Kelburn Park. We are fortunate that our place faces NE, which allows for a view past the park and unto the bay. In a few months, we may actually understand what’s going on in that cricket game.

How nice it was to finally unpack our bags and to have awoken 7 mornings in a row in the same bed! We have rented a fully furnished flat and are extremely fortunate in how it is furnished. It must be remodeler’s karma because as we rented our house in MN after a major remodel, this place was recently remodeled as well.

Here are a few pictures of the new place as well as a map of where we are located. Wellington is set up a bit like San Francisco with the city center down by the waterfront and lots of residential living up the hillsides surrounding the bay. If you can’t tell from the map it’s a pretty steep slope from our flat to the city. In fact there is a cable car that runs up the hillside right by our place – we are the second to the last stop up the hill. Our sore legs are already realizing that they’ve had it too easy for too long.

HOST COUNSELOR

We were delighted to arrive in Welly to a wonderful welcome. Greg and Jacquie could not have been more accommodating. Our two night stay grew to five given the high demand of rentals in the city. They not only helped us find our way around but also led us to a great neighborhood, the best grocery store, a hidden gem of a pizza shop, and a lovely sunset picnic spot!
