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.
