New apartment

I took the photos, and thought that they would magically appear on the blog, but apparently not!

Hereby the tour:

we are physically on Road 82 in Gulshan 2, our address is Road 81.  Since there are no postmen, it is pretty much academic

We are on the second floor of an 8 story building.  We would have preferred to be higher, but it was the last unrented flat.

Out of the lift, or up the stairs - our external hallway

 with lighting "feature"

Front door

Hallway

to the right is the kitchen

looks quite fancy

but..only the eye level cupboards have shelves

Store/laundry

 From the hallway if you go left, then you are in the main living room

dining table, dish cabinet, drinks cabinet

Reading nook

Visitors WC, with the walk in shower we use daily

here you see back into the hallway, and the door to the WC and study

study

master bedroom

master bath

guest bedroom!

and storage, and ironing room

guest bedroom en-suite

We have a balcony off of the living room, and the master bedroom, which as yet remain unused.

Compared to our other posts, we are a little cramped in terms of storage, but the rooms we actually live in are fine, and we feel very much at home now.  We still have a lot of stock (washing powder, food etc) from our posting to Ouaga, and expect that we will gradually run it down, creating more space.  Also the guest room will get a bit more organised as we have ordered some shelving units. 

We track all kinds of stuff round the world with us, and it's difficult to dispose of some things, as we don't know where we will go next...either way, we are pleased right now to have some of the winter clothes and bedding which we didn't need in Burkina! Night-time temperatures are down to 12 - and this is in an apartment with no insulation.
