Well, it's been exactly a month since my wife, 12 year old son and I landed in Auckland.
We were in a lovely apartment on the harbour (organised by my company) for the first few weeks.
In only three short weeks, we managed to get a lovely long term rental home in Howick (fantastic village feel) despite having a cat, a car, bank accounts and even a NZ Driving License!
Our son has started school too and is loving it. The kids are so friendly and, well just kids (rather than edgy teens going on 30).
I can get a ferry to work (30 minutes) from Half Moon Bay and across the road to the PWC Tower - what a way to start and end the day :-)
Just need a job for my wife our container from the ship and a house to buy sometime in the future and we'll be really settled.
Loving Auckland and New Zealand after nearly 50 years in UK.
Thanks you NZ
