We've got a fair bit of news in the past few days. 1) We got a car. 1997 Honda Civic hatchback that seems to run good so far (and we've taken it out exploring a few times). 2) Aron has a job at Alcatel. He will start on Monday so we're making the most of this last free week. Sheila has had a couple of job interviews and has one tomorrow at a com...

Well we arrived in Wellington in the very early hours of Monday morning and after catching up on some much needed sleep we explored the city. It is a great city but is known for being very windy. And just in case it wasn't windy enough, Wellington were experiencing unusual extreme winds. I thought I was going to get blown away at one point. It d...

Once again I must apologise for the huge gaps between entries but I must say I have been very busy. Well first of all to say is that Brisbane kicked off with a bang, meeting up with some uni pals was the plan of action, and drinking cheap wine was key to this. The night was going well when Guard suddenly went mental under the drink. After a...

Wellington what a fab city and party town. I visited the Te Papa museum which had very interesting facts about the first settlers and Maori people and had lots of interesting facts and displays. I could not have timed it better the rugby seven's tournament was on! People were all out in fancy dress and having a great time so we joined them and w...

Hannah- The weather cleared up significantly this morning so we decided to take advantage and do all our 'outside stuff' in Wellington today. Well, the theory was sound at any rate! By the time we'd got to our first touristy thing, the cable car and botanical gardens, it was blustery, gusty weather again, with that nasty drizzle that really stin...

15.58 - Although I initially woke up at about 09.30, I was feeling lazy so I went back to sleep until 11.00. I don't have to work until this evening so I though I might as well! When I did finally surface, I quickly got ready to go out but before I set off. I had some breakfast and gave Mum a call. It is only 25 day now until I meet them and I r...
