Wheels and Shelter....with Views!


Its been a very intense week of getting to know our new town....Mosty rainy with some beautiful rainbows and even hail one morning.

After a few days of driving the narrow streets with the wild Wellingtonians we thought it a smart choice to purchace a smaller vehicle.
We bought a great little car: a Smart Forfour. It has been perfect for picking up stuff, tight parking, and negotiating narrow streets where one has to pull over quickly to let others by.......driving reminds us of movies we have seen of Paris!

We have just rented a wonderful two-bedroom apartment: the whole upper floor of a well maintained older house in the fabulous, posh Wellington suburb, Roseneath.
The vistas are breathtaking and the street is spiritually peaceful, yet strangely exciting (must be the views and the narrow, twisting roads up the mountainside). 40A Roseneath Terrace, Wellington, 6011, if you want to google it.

Wow, is that little building across the street a double garage? Google 360 is so cool. Your new digs look unbelievable.

Yes, it's a double garage with a million-dollar home below with the most amazing views of Evan's Bay. The owner invited us in for tea one morning before we moved in, when we were exploring the area to decide if it suited us.
