Farming!

A few days ago I went to Rangitoto Island, a volcano outside of Auckland. I walked to the top of the volcano and then to the lava caves. You'll get a pretty nice view of Auckland from up there... I have also been to the Odyssey maze, where you have to find your way through these rooms, it could be an optical illusion, mirrors, totally dark and more. It was awesome, me and my American friends actually went twice. :)

Right now I am working on a farm with Jack and Kellogg who I met at the hostel, and have been doing this for a week. It's called WWOOFing. The people who run the farm are Michelle and Graham, two nice kiwi's that are really likable. The farm is located in Wanaka, about an hour south of Auckland. We work for about four hours a day and get to live as part of a kiwi family and learn a lot about what it's like working on a farm in New Zealand. I really enjoy being outside working. You get fresh air and exercise. Being on a farm is great, when we have finished our daily work we may do whatever we'd like.

I have met a lot of new people, I'm in a country I've never been to before there are a lot of new experiences and information to process. Everything is new. So in our spare time, Jack, Kellogg and I play a lot of games, mostly cards.

I am slowly working my way down the country and the plan is to be with a woofing family at Christmas. After that I think I will continue my journey to the south island, nothing planned really. We'll see where my feet take me. :P
