Here is another view of the villa from the outside.

(more…)

I signed the contract today for the villa. Photos to follow tomorrow of what is staying behind. They will leave some furniture and drapes. Staying is:

We can always have it removed later on. It will make the initial moving in much easier.

Statistics are:

Lot size:

400 square meters (4305 square feet)

House size:

650 square meters (6996 square feet) (This doesn’t seem right though. I’d say by our standards bout 3500 square feet maximum. That is probably the external dimensions of the whole house, not counted as done in North America. Well, anyhow it is big enough.

Ceiling height:

9 feet 2 inches (seems a bit higher though).

Well, if it was announced tonight, we’d get Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday off. But is wasn’t announced, so off to the office on Wednesday and only getting Saturday and Sunday off for a four day weekend. Remembe the weekend here is Thursday and Friday. So more diving days planned, Thursday and Saturday.

Well, I’m going for it. The Fintas 1, occupancy beginning January, 2006. Unfurnished, but good news, they will leave the stove and fridge/freezer.
See the previous posting for more information.

Well, not a good thing! The chest strap broke, and I mean the plastic part that has the sensors on it from the main part of sensor between the central transmitter and the side sensors. I guess I was getting too pumped up on the rowing machine.

Well, it will go back to the Mountain Equipment Coop.

This is the Number 30 highway going North towards the city. Note the mix of traffic. Speeds are from 150 to 80 km/hr or less. So it can be treacherous. And people cut across and pass in any lane. So you need to drive very defensively with the aggressivve part always at hand to pass ahead of potential trouble.

And then you have them here selling watermelons. I pulled over for the photo and believe me after taking the photo is was extremely treacherous to get back on the road!
