This morning a letter arrived which opens with " Dear Mr Botha. We are pleased to advise that we have received documents from Allied Pickfords (Bloemfontein) covering a shipment of 254 packages of personal effects which are due to arrive at the port of AUCKLAND on or about 30/05/09"
We had no idea that we had as many as 254 packages - it did look like an enormous heap when it left Wolmarasstad in January - luckily, we have an inventory listing each and every one so no doubt we will be able to vouch for all 254 of them - here's hoping they are all in pristine condition and are all there! Four will certainly be very easy to spot - two upright pianos and two motorcycles - that leaves a nice round 250 packages to get from Auckland port to our home - wherever that might be.
We are going to be going to the Johnny Clegg concert in Auckland on the 1st June in any event so could possibly combine that with all the things that need to be signed and seen to with regard to customs and so on while we are in the vicinity.
Today, things are looking really like we will be bidding farewell to lovely Hamilton and heading South to Wanganui.
There is a home for lease right on the sea - on a little cliff overlooking Kai Iwi beach and about 15km out of Wanganui - we have made some enquiries and will keep everyone posted. We haven't seen inside the house apart from the photographs available on the website, but it looks really promising so hold thumbs!
If any of you are feeling so inclined - take a look at Trade Me - real estate - houses to rent - Wanganui - Kai Iwi and you should be able to see the photos of the house and the view!
Dis al!
