Arrived in New Zealand!




Despite the in flight entertainment the journey seemed to take forever ... zzz...

Ians office organised a bbq lunch for us on the deck of their 9th floor office. Scottish flags adorned the office and a castle and piper poster on the door. The tried to set up bag pipe music but it didnt work. We had a lot of laughs and great food! Seems like a really fun place to be. (They also sent us flowers and a food hamper which Karen really appreciated!)

Next seven days we house hunted almost non stop. Its hard to find accomodation here to rent, especially for less than a year. It feels like a boom town here, the restaurants and hotels are always full and its hard to even hire a car!

Ian first few days at work - happy to have a personal office with a view over the harbour, where I can watch sea gulls fly past the window. The office shares a fridge with communal coke, beer, wine and champagne. Within the first three days they have had a party for Ian arriving, the CEO leaving, chocoloate cake for Ians first day, champagne and drinks for it being a 'Friday'. Real work to start soon....
