Still sorting

Nina with learners package

Nina with learners package

We still have lots of stuff to organize. Flo had an interview with an agency today…it’s a small and picky agency but it went well and they took him in. Anyhow, first time he needed his work clothes in Wellington and we realized that he needs black shoes as he didn’t bring his old ones here.
So we spent the afternoon downtown, setting up a bank account, buying Flo shoes and also….getting me a Learner Driver Pack. Scary thing, folks. It contains the NZ road code, a L plate to mark our car (that we don’t actually have yet) as a Learner’s car and codes for online tests. I got around reading the first two pages…that was it. 🙂

Flat and job hunting

Sorry for not updating, it’s been a stressful couple of days. Flo is sick and we’re both quite jetlagged. I’ve forgotten how long it takes to get used to a different time zone. At around 4pm, since yesterday we managed to push it back to 5 pm, we get so incredibly tired that we really can’t do anything productive anymore. We did the smart thing and stayed up till 10pm on the first night but we still have these attacks of tiredness. Continue reading →

Time to leave

It’s been a rough week. Getting rid of everything in our flat was way more time-consuming than I’d ever imagined. I’d like to take this moment now that we are waiting to board our flight to thank everybody who helped us that much.

At times I thought we wouldn’t manage it and I was quite stressed out. But this way I didn’t think too much about all the good-byes. Now that we have time again and can slow down a bit (at least during the flight), I’d like to say that you’ve all been amazing and helpful and kind and and and 🙂 So Flo and I will miss you a lot. Thanks for waiting with us at the airport. We will see if the flight really leave tonight. 🙂 Maybe Flo jinxed the passenger announcement system. 🙂

But anyhow, now it’s good-bye Frankfurt. We will be back.

Hello New Zealand, I am looking forward to a lot of adventures. And fun. And friends. And everything else. 🙂
