Wellington, New Zealand
Friday, May 28, 2004
As soon as we arrived back in Wellington we knew that we had made the right decision. We love this city and were pleased to be back here. We moved back into the YHA and started the hunt for an apartment. After only a few days (and a bit of stress after we signed a lease for a place and then decided it wasn't right and had to make up big excuses as to why we couldn't move in) we found the perfect place! It's right in the heart of the city and everything is literally on your doorstep! We have absolutely stunning views across the bay, over the city and up towards Mount Victoria. It's so easy to spend all your time out on the balcony, chilling out, especially as the weather has been amazing. The flat is really cheap and our rent includes all bills, furniture, sky TV and the Internet (which i'm using just now, yeah!) And best of all really is that we get on really well with all of our flatmates. There is Antoine, our little French buddy who is over here doing a Phd in Physics (he's only 23!) and he is soo adorable, cute and hilarious! He's coming along to the Scotland v Samoa rugby game with us next week and he's got his See you Jimmy hat all ready! Then there is Christine and Josh, both Kiwis and really cool. So easy to get on with and have a laugh. Then we have Sarah who is really quiet and pretty much keeps herself to herself but is really friendly and laid back. It's a great mix of people and we all get on really well which is a major relief!
So, we soon got moved in and the job hunting began...I'll write more about that soon, my hand is sore now from typing xx ...
