New Years Eve and Wellington - Moving from Ilja to Coralie & Carl to Paul & Wendy [December 29 - January 5]

On Saturday December 29 I left Renee's house and moved to Ilja, an on-line friend of Tijmen, who has been living in New Zealand for 20 years now, but is originally from the Netherlands. She was really sweet and I felt very welcome.


Porirua, the bay, next to where Ilja lives.


Ollo and Ilja.


Ilja and her two birds, Sam -on her head- and Kip. Such funny animals.


New Years Eve at Coralie's place, where her friend Pam had to drink Vodka out of a pan on the hill. After all, she did drew the last King. .


The next day, relaxing in the sun. Kitty -the cat-, and Coralie.


One of the bays in Wellington, during my round trip with Wendy.


One of the many Islands in the many bays of Wellington.

Emily and Roseanne, the daughters (twins) of Paul and Wendy at a festival they went to.


Paul and Wendy at the forest park straight across their house in Wilton, one of the suburbs.

After that I went to the South Island. More about that later...
