While Bas worked hard at Green Bay High School, I spent the past 2 weeks in the Netherlands, taking care of some business and arranging lots of things. It was very strange to be in our home in Groningen all by myself. It was very nice to see some friends and family, but I missed Bas and there was lots to arrange and a whole lot of work to do (the reason I was there; working and handing over work to a new communications manager at KDE Energy). At least, it paid the bills (and the plane ticket ;-)) Furthermore, I arranged a lot: selling our car, moving the bunnies from bunnysitter 1 to bunnysitter 2, insurance stuff, finding a temp. renter of our apartment + cleaning it, buying stuff to bring back, etc. Thanks to all who hosted me for dinner, I didn’t have to turn on the fridge 🙂
I arrived back in Auckland on Sunday morning and I am very happy to be with Bas again. It is finally sinking in now that we’ll actually be able to stay in this beautiful country till January! This week we’re both still working a lot, but then Bas has two weeks Easter break coming up on Friday, so we decided to treat ourselves to a little holiday. We made some hotel reservations in and around Roturoa, Taupo and Waitomo Caves – yeah, you can look that up, or you can wait for the pictures on our blog when we get back ;-), including a spa treatment in the first luxurious resort-type hotel/spa. Whoohoo! Looking forward to a bit of relaxation!
We hardly took any pictures last month, so just a few pictures below this time. However, I am sure that we’ll have great shots for you to see after our mini-holiday! We’ll keep you updated!
Cheers!
