I expect that we will have a bit of jet lag having just landed - not to mention quite a bit of luggage trailing behind us ....
yes! 17th.... I'll make sure we have a few for you. wishing you a good flight over here.

Hi boopy

It was really good to meet upon Friday and take in some of the bars on Cuba street and courtney place, thanks for the invite.
Will definatley keep in touch, although I don't think I'll challenge you to a game of pool again as you are clearly a shark.

It was great to have a few drinks after arriving in a new city and get local knowledge and tips from people likes you and boozy mate who have gone though a lot of the challenges of moving across the world!

Question Re: looking for friends in Wellington!!

From what I've read so far, it looks like you might be planning another night out soon.

Any takers?

Hi to all!

Our names are Alan, Lisa Thomas we are in our late 30s and have a 7 1/2 year old daughter. We live in Johnsonville and would love to make some new friends.

We moved from Cardiff South Wales 5 years ago, my wife is a Kiwi but my daughter is Welsh. I was born in Staffordshire.

I am a very keen Kayak fisherman and find Wellington Awesome apart from the wind.....

Speak soon!

Hi Alan, Lisa and Thomas

The wife (Ashlie) and I would be more than happy to meet up for a coffee some time. I am also a keen fisherman but never tried it while kayaking!!

We are mid 30's with no children and We're in Riverstone terraces in Upper Hutt but would be more than happy to come over your way if it is easier for you.

All the Best

Mark and Ashlie

Would love to catch up sometime
