here we are - finally

Well, here we are - finally in starting the next phase of our excellent adventure - we're in Krabi!  We arrived early Monday morning - 7.30am local time.  We went straight to the apartment we're renting to drop our bags.  There's no food in the place so we headed out to the brand new Tesco Lotus they have built in AoNang.  We stopped at our house for a quick look - it looks fantastic.

Tuesday we had a meeting with Somjai the builder onsite.  We went through the house and everything that needs to be done.  Not too much but enough to stop us moving right in.  Though in saying that, we don’t have a bed to sleep on so it might be a bit rough sleeping there at the moment.

We’ve started looking for furniture etc for the house.  We bought a fridge on Tuesday and a washing machine and freezer today.  Still lots to buy but want to move in before we get too much.  That way we can see exactly what we need.  We also need to wait for our container to arrive before we get too much – there’s a whole house in that container.

For those that come for a visit, you can see we have the creature comforts from home.  Lots of Aussie wines here and for those of us who don’t feel like going out for dinner – Maccas delivers here J

That’ all the news for now.  I’ll keep you updated over the next days and weeks as to what’s happening.
