New Zealand October 2014

 Spent a wonderful week in New Zealand visited Auckland and Napier on the North Island. In Napier,  some really nice Art Deco buildings that was built after a great earth quake.

The ocean was really nice with some amazing waves rolling in. Since it was in October, it felt like an early spring day with sun and blue sky.

In Auckland, I took a ferry over to Devonport. A very nice place with many old houses and a stunning view.

Today it has been really windy and cold.

End of the year

So, noe it is almostt the last day of the year and here I'm sitting in Canterbury and it is -2C out side. It has been a great yer and I've even bought a car, so now the roads are not safe any more.

Happy New Year!!

So, now have I landed in Canterbury and the move went well. It was a rather heavy suitcase I had, 22 kg and it was marked with heavy. I took the train from Heathrow in to London, Paddington station, and then a taxi to Victoria station. There I had an early lunch and then I took the train to Canterbury. It took 1.5 hours and was very nice. After that i was picked-up by the "locate" people and we headed to the bank and the to the letting agent. I got my keys and inspected the apartment. Only a few minor remarks, but it is a really nice one. Then I went to buy some additional items to get some dinner. I actually got a welcome bag with some food in. really nice!!

As you can see I also got my computer hooked up with the rest of the world, so now I have a mobile broadband. It's a really convenient little thing, which is connected via the USB port.
