Well we got here at last. *:) We arrived very late last Tuesday. We were interviewed by Immigration on arrival - they seemed more concerned about Caz being pregnant rather than us looking for work on visitor visas, howver about 15 mins of checks and questions they were happy to let us into the country.
The good news before was that a couple of days I was offered a job with a large IT company on the North Shore so that at least that it one load off our mind.
We are staying in a lovely holiday flat which is part of the owner's villa in Herne Bay . I will post details of it at some later point WIGTT.
We have mostly recovered from jetlag although Caz is suffering from pregnancy tiredness from time to time.
Now our next task is to find a rental. Herne Bay is lovely but the commute to work by public transport would probably be too long. We've hired a car and today we visited Northcote and Birkenhead. Northcote we didn't like at all - it seemed very dead. However Birkenhead seems lovely particularly Birkenhead Point. Birkenhead has a surprisingly large shopping centre and seems to have everything we need. However other parts of Birkenhead seem too much like surburbia (yuck!!!!) so we need to avoid those.
More later!!!
