On the up?

So after my last post which was a bit of an outburst of frustration things have calmed down a bit. We unfortunately decided that we had to head back north to Nelson since we will hopefully have 3 months, fully time work in a factory in a few weeks time. I really didn’t want to leave Wanaka and Queenstown as they are really chilled out places plus we both really wanted to work a ski season, anyway so our plans have changed and here is the new ‘improved’ plan if the factory work happens.

• Work for 3 months in the factory.
• Save money like mad.
• Treat ourselves to beer on the weekend.
• When 3 months have passed shoot back down to Wanaka and snowboard and party for a week.
• Travel back north doing activities and drinking along the way.

Queenstown...I miss you already

So as I said we’re back in Nelson, we left our woofing hosts, Miranda and John on the 13^th May and drove north only stopping to spend the night in a hostel and then setting of again in the morning. Lloyds been driving and reckons we have driven more than 6000 kilometres since we first bought our car and set off from Auckland (work that out into miles yourself), I feel bad for Lloyd since I don’t drive he has to do all the driving, I’ve even started sitting in the back of the car and started to call him Jeeves, his birthday is coming up soon so I might buy him a pair of driving gloves.

We’re now at our new woofing hosts place with Geoffrey and Briar who will be looking after us for the next few weeks. We’ve started work already helping to construct Geoffrey’s work shed, and it sure beats weeding for 4 hours a day. Geoffrey and Briar are both counsellors so are both very easy to get along with and very positive people, the only downside is that they are vegetarians… I’m a carnivore and vegetables bore the hell out of me, we’ve only been here 1 day and I’m already craving a kebab.
