In Our Flat

It is Sunday, August, 17, 2008. We have finally moved into our flat. We moved on Friday. We don't have internet in the flat yet, so I am sitting in McDonalds using their free WiFi. That is different, WiFi in McDonalds. I took Friday off from work and we moved from the hotel to the flat and started our newest culture shock. You know a place always looks bigger when you look at it. We went on our first grocery shopping experience. It took us over 2 hours to just do the grocery shopping. Just think what it would be like to shop with nothing at all in your house. We had to buy a little of everything. And then, trying to figure out what you were buying. I finally had a glass of ice tea. That was so good, since all you can get cold is beer, wine, coke and water. It rained for about 6 days straight, but thank goodness it was dry when we moved in and shopped. Linda loves the new washing/drying machine. Yes it is all in one. At a minimum it takes over 3 hours, one load at a time. This is a new experience. Hopefully we will get the internet this week and then we will have the work computer and my computer. Then I can start keeping this up to date better. We thought we would be moved in by now. Now for the british word jab, it means a shot, like a flu shot or over here a flu jab. At the grocery store we bought minced meat, what did we buy? Enough talking here are the pictures. Next post, I will add pictures of the inside of the flat.

Here is the hotel we stayed in after we moved to a different hotel after the first week here. Yes, that is a Rolls Royce in front of the hotel. They had a convention while we where there.

This is all the pictures for this post. I will add lots more when we get the internet at the flat. Have a good week.
