A Place to Stay

After much calling, waiting, viewing, and more waiting we have found a place to stay! We looked at several flats and finally settled on the one that met our needs the best. It is a boarding house located in central Hastings, right around the area where we are looking for work. It is a rather large house with several bedrooms and tenants, about 5 others I believe, but it is clean, spacious, and we have unlimited internet! We are also able to stay as short or as long as we want--we are not tied down by a minimum length of stay. Here are some photos of our new pad:

This is our room. It's small but cozy with a twin bed and the other is a full. 

Here is the entrance to the room: we have a small set of drawers and a wardrobe to hang things.

Here is the kitchen. It's a decent size and has a grill, oven, toaster, microwave, fridges, a tea kettle, and even a rice cooker! Well suited for any type of cooking. 

Here is  picture of the front of the house. As you can see it's rather wide and there is a small yard that I am standing in that you can't see--but it has some nice trees and flowers.

And here is a courtyard in the back of the house that is spacious and would make for a nice place to eat on the warm summer nights (that are just now starting to arrive!)

Overall, we are pretty content with the place and think it will make a satisfactory "home" for the next month and a half while we work in the area. We still have not found solid work yet, but we have been applying to many places and people keep telling us it's about to get busy and that we will definitely find some work soon! We may even have two days at the end of this week at an orchard, but we have to call again tomorrow to confirm. So wish us luck! Things are looking up!
