Moving Day

Today we said goodbye to Ruakaka and drove to our next home near Tauranga! As mentioned before we will be looking after a small farm for 2 kiwis while they are on vacation.

It wasn't too bad to pack up all our stuff, we managed to pack and clean in only a few hours. And everything even fit in the van! A bit crazy how much stuff we've accumulated - in addition to our original suitcases and Dexter's kennel, we now have our boxes including ski stuff, surf boards, boogie boards, my guitar and various other house items we've had to buy. Due to a full van Dexter got to cuddle in the front seat with us for the drive :) He was quite happy, as long as he got to sprawl out.

There's no room for me!

Yay I get to go in the front seat

Dexter loves the new house, especially since the owners also have a dog Jyn. Jyn will be leaving with them in a couple days, but until then Dexter and him have become best buds. Here's some pictures around the yard and garden at the new house. Lots more exciting stories and pictures to come :)

There's also a vineyard - the owners are big into wine making
