Travelling for 4 months

We have now been on the road and in temporary accommodation for 4 months since leaving Ballyhome. We have been in a rented apartment in Napier since the start of February but it is strange surviving with what we carried in to Aldergrove in November!

We have almost got to the stage of forgetting what we had... all our furniture, books, etc are in storage in Auckland awaiting us finding permanent accommodation here. I expect when it all arrives it will be like Christmas. I think J has done really well to live without a Playstation for over 4 months! He probably never expected to not have it for so long!!!!

It has been interesting in a way to see how we can survive on so little... with only a limited amount of clothes... Possibly when winter comes we will be looking for warmer clothes!

We seem to be living in the warmest part of New Zealand though. Winter seems to be very short here... The locals are talking about it getting cold but it is still sunny and over 25 degrees every day! Not bad for the equivalent of mid-September in the northern hemisphere!
