Wellington, New Zealand

New Zealand. Our new home.

It's been a while... 

It's been about 2.5 months since we've left South Africa. And it's been a week since we've moved into our rented house in Tawa, Porirua City,Wellington. This house was meant for us, because we had one day to find a place to stay and it was pure luck (and help from above) that we found this one!! Close to everywhere, but away from the noise! So lucky!!

An interesting, challenging, sad and happy experience. Sad, because we left our BFF behind, but also happy, because now our kids can get to know my parents.

Andre started his new job on 1 Dec. and the kids went off to school. They all seem to be very happy with everything! It's like a great, big adventure :-).
Me... I'm just starting to catch up with the last couple of months!!

So, to "click off" my first post from NZ, here are some photo's of our first outing...

First days in NZ - Manukau City (Auckland). We stayed in
Cockle Bay. Awesome view!

Ben with Oupa. We last saw Oupa and Ouma in 2010.

Pekapeka. This area is a natural Wetland, but was used
as a dumping area in the past. NZ is now all about
conservation and all the Wetlands are protected areas.

Pekapeka - with a walk-way.
I love this photo!!

Pekapeka - Some of the scrap metal and building rubble
can still be seen at the site.

Pekapeka - Andre and the kids on the walk-way.

Pekapeka - and then I must pose for a photo too ;-)
