And we are here!



As you can tell, we made it safe and sound!

Since we were not able to check into the apartment until 2pm, Merrin first took us to the house she shares with Darrel to set our things down and rest up a bit.

We then went downtown and explored a bit, walking down Oriental Parade (yes, that is a street) over to the center of the CBD (central business district) and then somewhere in town to meet Darrel for lunch. They even treated us!



After lunch, Merrin took us to our new apartment to get settled. Darren proceeded to carry our five bags up four flights of stairs:





It was completely worth it, though, once we saw how beautiful the apartment is - this is the view from the living room:




This is the little enclosed porch next to the living room/off of the bedroom










And the view

















I knew we were in the right place when I sat down on the couch, and saw this on the wall:
