I thought I should do a quick post since I haven't posted for a while. Lloyd and I have just finished our last mornings work at our WOOFing hosts place. Between us we have planted around 700 trees, made about 800 bamboo stakes, drunk 30 cups of tea, drunk 3 litres of lemon and barley juice, eaten 70 biscuits and I have approximately 1000 sand fly bites.

Lots of bamboo stakes and trees

I have really enjoyed my time here, we have worked hard, eaten a lot of good food and the weather has been great. Next we head over to Raglan to have a few days off and to  learn how to surf and then we have another WOOfing host lined up. John and Karyen have been great hosts. John is a really nice funny guy and has lots of stories to tell and Karyen is a great cook. They are both semi retired but John still seems to put a lot of hours work in.

Our main plan is to get down to Queens Town and try to find work during the Ski Season, I really want to have a go at snow boarding, not sure if I'll be any good but I reckon it's worth giving it a go. If we don't get jobs there I guess we will have to re-evaluate our plans but I'm sure it will all work out, any way next stop Raglan!!!
