So Far
It's been 3.5 years now, we moved house, had twins, got our permanent residency and we've cried - a lot - wanted to go home, wanted to stay for ever and now we are back in the UK. You are going to read about a roller-coaster ride that hasn't stopped.

This is the story of our journey, please comment or ask questions via the comments. I will answer them all.
If you're moving to Auckland buy "Where to Live in Auckland," there's a link on the left. It is invaluable.

Regards and Good Luck
Jonathan and Rebecca

Fush and Chups

Not a spelling mistake but an accurate phonetic version of a Kiwi Sunday evening tradition. One that thus far Becca and I had not enjoyed! It is of course the Sunday evening eating of Fish and Chips anywhere near water. The weather has been glorious over the weekend, not sticky just clear warm air and very little wind. I feel guilty as the storms lash the UK. But these are the pictures!
Once again we are in Devonport at the Tunnel Trees, so called becasue of the lovely trees and great climbing frame!

This is the Best Fish and Chip Shop in Devonport, Snapper and Chips in a light sunflower oil,



This is the Tunnel of Tunnel Trees fame, better known as Victoria Park.



Pick a spot and don't forget the ketchup! Not quite healthy enough for the girls who had already eaten, the time is 6:30 pm



And enjoy the view, the big thing in the back is an added bonus! The Sapphire Princess en route to Sydney



The view as we left at 7:15pm from the Pier looking across to the CBD

You are so lucky, you know that don't you? What a beautiful place to live. How are the Fush and Chups really?? I mean for me the fish is just to die for but the chips (fries) are horrendous! And whats with the no peas or curry lark??
