This is what we saw on part of the walk we took today.
And this is the path to Buckleberry Ferry in the first movie.
Dad, Paul: Pretty cool, huh?
Skippy, Chris: Quit judging. This is badass and you know it. :P
We think we may have found a house in one of the outer suburbs of Wellington. It's a 5 bedroom but the couple who owns it is only renting out one room, so it looks like it's ours. It's NZ$700 a month which is about $480US. BG just walked into the room as I type this waving her keycard in the air and smiling. Looks like we got a flat, kids. That means a mailing address and telephone number are soon to follow.
We chose it even though they have a dog (who is very shy. He's named "Bounder") because Jason, the husband, is outdoorsy and techie, and Leigh, the wife, is not only a chef but is a small-time guitar player. Everything's coming up BG&D today.
The walk back to the hostel was our first foray into the 'tramping' experience...it was about an hour long and took us through a forest and over Mt. Victoria. It;s there that they filmed that scene from Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring. So we got a lot of blood flowing to our limbs and got to be outdoors on a beautiful day.
Posting will be easier soon as Jay and Leigh have wireless at the house. We move in Monday at 11:00am, which is this Sunday evening at around 5:00 for all of you.
Thanks for the prayers and well wishes. We'll look forward to chatting you up soon.
Love,
BG&D

The couple sounds just about perfect for ya'll and you can't beat having a dog named Bounder.
How old is the couple?
Dizz, you must be in walking heaven out there. Whats the traffic in the city like?
ps: find a talking tree and i'l be far less judgemental.
