View

Have a job, an apartment, went to Queenstown for my birthday and am going to start sailing lessons in a couple of weeks. Probably more to say than that but can't be bothered to type more, sorry. The above picture is the view from my balcony.

Visa Extended :-)

My NZ work visa has been extended today :-)

Was a bit worried as it seemed to be taking a while and they had to arrange interim visa, pleased it was not needed in the end. Going to collect my passport tomorrow lunch time.

More Auckland snaps

Just uploaded a few pictures from around Auckland. Took all the boaty ones this morning at the viaduct. Anyway, passed my visa medical and currently waiting to hear about the visa extension, hopefully get my passport back this week. Been doing some IT contract work at Auckland Council, its ok, nothing too exciting.

Auckland

Went for a walk in the park today and visited the hot houses, took a really nice picture of the whole greenhouse in flower but for some reason my phone camera did not save the file properly. So instead here is a pretty dull picture showing where I am staying at the moment, i'm on the 4th floor of the boring grey building in the centre right.

Auckland

Arrived back in Auckland yesterday, am a little jet lagged but not too bad considering. Walked up Mount Eden this morning, had been there before 4 years ago but took a bus that time. Anyway, took this picture showing the crater and a view over Auckland.
