I promised Cath she would get her picture on the blog... so here it is, at that rather surprising german beer fest in Hong kong!

So we have arrived in New Zealand, it's all going really well so far. We landed in Wellington on Sunday and were greeted by Seb's new manager, who kindly took us on a tour of the city, sorted us out temporary accomodation in a motel, and invited us over for dinner. Such nice people! Absolutley everyone we have met has gone out of their way to help us and has been kind and welcoming. The place is just as beautiful as I remember and as there has been so much rain this spring, everything is incredibly green and lush. The sun seems to be finding it's way out now though and maybe summer is on it's way??

Seb started work yesterday and it all seems to be going well. He's got this week as a training week so he probably won't be let loose on the patients for a few more days yet. He says they have a slightly different system of diagnosis and treatment that he's got to get used to, but he seems really positive about it all.

I have been rushing about the city, trying to find us a flat, a car and sort out work visas and try and find some sort of work for me... Yesterday we managed to find the most amazing and gorgeous flat, we can't move in til next week so we'll have to go into a hostel for a couple more days but it's so worth the wait!! I saw a few really dingy places during the day, and then this place was about the 4th place we looked at. It sounds corny, but we both fell in love with it as soon as we saw it! It's about 20 mins outside the city centre, on the side of a hill, surrounded by jungley trees, with amazing views over the city and has sliding doors from the living area out onto our huge deck which has all day sunshine... and it has a spa bath in the bathroom!!! It's very cool! It's only one bedroom, but there is plenty of room on the living room floor for visitors! Unfortunately it's unfurnished so we'll be sitting and sleeping on the floor until seb gets his first pay cheque... Oh well, it's definitely worth it.

So that's about it from us for now, no new pictures yet but we'll have some soon as seb ahas a very snazzy new camera to play with!

Love to you all,

Katie and Seb
