The tedious task of un-packing

Last night we went out to watch the cricket in the bar next door and for once England did a good job and beat South Africa. Unfortunately due to the time difference we could only watch the first session and had to listen to the radio when we got home.

We have started un-packing and re-organising. It is not entirely easy to fit all of our belongings into 88 square meters, or just your normal 2 bedroom flat, but we are making progress. Martin is making me un-pack absolutely everything, even boxes I have not opened since I left Sweden last in 1999. I guess he has a point, un-pack and use or throw it away. Today I think we have done around 30 boxes and there are only about 10 or so left.
Unfortunately the bed was not put together properly, so we are back sleeping on the sofa bed, until we find the missing part, but at least we have a proper mattress etc.

The garage I rented for Little Car did not work out, so today I have also been looking for another one. As he is still stuck in customs, I have bought a little bit of time.

Tomorrow we will meet the people we have swapped cars with and get the keys to their Mazda 121, which we will use as "shopping & exploring" car. They got the keys to our Audi yesterday and did not complain yet about the fact that I spilled 5 litres of paint in the back seat just before I left.
