here now
 
Arived here on thursday,spent first night sleeping from 6 pm till next mornin,have been driving around to get my bearings,not got lost yet but have made a couple of wrong turns ,no probs there just turned round again and went back.went to Porrirua shoping centre ,found all the cheap supermarkets so will stock up when we get a rental home.
The only downside here at the motel is the wireless internet connection I have is $15 a day so I am not going online as often as I did in the uk.
I start my job in 2 weeks ,they said get settled in fist and dont hurry things,we are being shown houses today and we have a rental agency contacting us to show properties for rent,it will all come together soon I am sure :)

Where abouts are you looking at living, Whitby around there is supposed to be nice but a bit out from Wellington City.

That's great, I'm pleased everything is going well. Nina has been a good help to many on the forum and has much experience as she's an oldie in NZ - I'm not talking age.
