Another rather exhausting day... Our pockets are a bit lighter after doing the equivalent of a walmart shopping spree to get all the little things we need for our apartment. The day started off beautifully, and Claire and I decided that we do in fact still like the place we've rented. 
Here's a bunch of pictures: Our villa - we have the top floor and don't miss our palm tree!, Reception with fire place and piano, master bedroom with Chaise Lounge (definitely planning a george castanza pic on that one see http://farm1.static.flickr.com/19/116450033_4266fb5229_o.jpg), kitchen, back sitting room/hallway with old stove, and view out of our small spare bedroom.
The view from the front of our apartment overlooks the tops of a combination of houses and industrial buildings, but I was excited to discover that from our bedroom we actually can see a bit of water in the harbor and watch boats go by.
We also have a fantastic back porch off of the kitchen that overlooks a nature reserve.
And our only bathroom is very large - possibly bigger than our spare bedroom - and has heated floors and was nicely redone with a separate shower and a era appropriate claw foot bathtub.Well, it's time for us to go get some dinner. Ironically, we're going to pop down to an irish pub for their sunday special - complete with a jug of ale.
the place looks fabulous, guys! makes me want to come and visit...if only there was an easier way to get to nz other than the horrendously long plane ride.......
