Karori

We've been in our flat for 3 weeks now and we're begining to get get to know Karori well. Its a 15-20 min bus ride to downtown Wellington from our place, which means that we can get into the city quickly, but live far enough away to be able to get away from things if we want to.

Our flat is within walking distance of two nature reserves, the Otari-Wilton's bush and the Karori Wildlife Sanctuary, and is surrounded by hills, as is much of Wellington. The view of the city from nearby Johnston Hill is fantastic.

After months or travelling and living out of suitcases, its finally feeling like we've settled somewhere, and Karori is a great base from which to explore the rest of NZ.
