Parawai Bush

Now, that we finally start to be able to keep our head out of the water of the many chores, we have explored our new “Hausberg”, the hill behind our neigbourhood. And, to our surprise we found a really proper bushwalk with beautiful views. Perfect for a recreational walk after work or as a recommendation for our many guests that we expect.

I add a few pictures of the exterior of our new home – more pictures from inside will follow soon as there is still a certain degree of chaos. One great thing is that it is so much warmer - build in 2006, it is fully insulated, only that they still used single glassing, the windows close tight though.
