WOOfing adventures

It feels like a lot has happened since my last blog, Lloyd and I arrived in Napier did a bit of camping and then headed out to our new WOOFing host. When we originally booked our new WOOFing host we looked at the reviews at we thought that this was really going to be a great place to work but when we got there I pretty much had a bad feeling straight away. On our arrival we were led to a tiny caravan at the bottom of the garden (this was to be our accommodation for the week), the caravan was that small we barley had any room for our bags. Lloyds bed was barley wide enough and my bed was not long enough, we barely slept our first night there and we were quite tired the next day.  It was raining so we couldn’t really do any work so we spent the day hanging around waiting to be able to do some work, that nights sleep was not really the best either and we both woke again feeling shattered, been tired is not too bad but the caravan was also full of mosquitos and sand flys. We started work that morning and we were both disappointed with the work we were given, pulling leaves off of trees so they don’t rub against fruit is not the most interesting work and we were both totally fed up and tired. We decided to go and have a chat with our hosts and explain to them that we were leaving. 

We packed our stuff and headed out, we originally planned to go out and do a bit more camping but Lloyd suggested sending our previous hosts a text to see if they needed any help. John got back to us in a few moments and we were soon on our way back to John and Karens. We were given such a nice welcome back we felt totally at ease with going back. The work here is good and I feel like I am learning new skills, far better than picking leaves off of trees, in fact Lloyd and I have been helping john build his out door wine cellar. Most of it has been built so Lloyd and I have been chipping out concrete and repointing the wall. It's really peaceful here and chilled out and the sunsets here are amazing , I've posted a few pictures below. We have now been back here over a week and will be leaving on the 21^st to start our journey south towards Queens Town!
