So I moved again

I left Taupo on the 25 and took the Kiwi bus to River Valley where I went on an awesome white water rafting trip. The next day I was off to Wellington the capital of New Zealand. Here I am staying two nights in a backpackers and then tomorrow I will take a train to a Wwoofing place not far from here called
Paekakariki. That's what up so far.
Cheers!

I leave tomorrow

Today is Sunday. I leave Te Koha tomorrow and I'm a bit nervous about moving on, especially because I'm on my own. I feel like when I first arrived here in New Zealand I was pretty confident in myself because hadn't really pondered what was going to happen next, but now I have and I'm very uncomfortable about being on my own in a place I'm not accustom to.
Yesterday was filled with excitement.
First thing in the morning I had two chase two small pigs who had escaped their pen all around the apple orchard. Finding them was surprisingly the easy part. We finally herded them back to their pen and turned the electric fence on. The two pigs seamed to take no notice to the electrical current as they once again ran through the wires. We finally got them back into the pen and locked them in their shed. We then brought a bunch of apple bins and lined them up a long the fence so they wouldn't be able to escape.
Mean while the mother pig "copper," had just given birth to 14 little piglets three of which did not make it. But the remaining eleven where the cutest baby animals I have ever seen. They where all competing for breakfast as she panted heavily, exhausted from her birth.



After work I went to the beach with another wwoofer and we spent about 2 hours talking, making sand castles and playing cards over a couple of beers.









Then we drove home welcomed with a big pan of chili and this awesome sunset.

Sorry for the wait

So I have finally finished the oven here on the farm and it looks awesome. I am very proud of myself for getting it done so fast. My Hosts are are also very happy with it as well. I had a pretty good New Years. I got my first hangover which sucked, but I soon drank some coke and I got over it in no time. I went to the beach for the first time in New Zealand and that was fun. I made a couple of sand art forms, but didn't go swimming because it was quite cold. Everything so far is sweet as. Almost every wwoofer is gone besides me and a Girl from Normandy. Other jobs I have been doing are weeding pumpkins, harvesting and cleaning garlic, picking raspberries, boysenberries, black currents and strawberries.











This was a f&$@ing massive fig!
