Traveling

So we went to Christchurch and I think I would have liked it a lot more if there wasn't so much construction going on. We got to meet up with Michelle and David which was awesome. We stayed two nights then moved on to Oamaru. We have one more night here. It's a very pretty town. It's quite big. Right now we're trying to figure out busses and it's stressing me out!

Dancing on the side of the road! Country I am.

Sorry for not blogging more. Nothing much has happened. On Saturday we had the day off so me and Graeme slept in which was AMAZING! We then got up had breakfast and then biked into town. We went back to the park with the flying fox but there was to many kids there so we just sat in the sun. Mmmmmmm. We then went for lunch and Graeme had a salad where I had a burger with fries... Anyone see how weird this is? Anyways we then went and got some food to make a home made salsa! Yumm! The next day we also had off. Graeme wanted to bike to these Maori rock drawings which we had no idea where they were. That was fun since there was about 20 different hills we had to bike over. -.- I wasn't very loving towards Graeme after that. The drawings where pretty cool but really faded. Monday we split wood nothing to special about it. Tuesday we harvested potatoes in the morning but the tractor ad the harvester where broken! So then I mowed lawns. And it stalled and he told me just to wait for a little while and he'd come help me when he came back from town. So I just sat on the side of the road waiting and listening to music, then singing the music, then dancing and sing to the music. The cows really enjoyed my performance. I even had. Stage. (The mower). I have a picture of it so you can all imagine how awesome I was. Today so far I've cleaned the cottage while Graeme gets to pick up wood. We are now making our lunch of canned spaghetti. Solid. Me and Graeme eat better when we're traveling rather than wwoofing with Ian. I've convinced Graeme to let us leave on the 25th!! Woooot! :) But I ought to go!

Hannah's and Sam's pictures

The mushroom is one that you can get high off of (supposably) and they grow like crazy here!

Wwoofing continued

So today was our second full day at our new wwoofing place. I'll catch you up in what we've done.
While we where still at Hannah's and Sam's we went to a sheep dog show and they showed us how they control the dogs with just a whistle! He can tell them what to do from 3 kms away!!! I got to ride one of the horses for a little while which was really fun. Nothing much happened after that. Mostly shoveling poo. On our last day Hannah drove us to Timaru and we chilled there for a while and then drove us to Ian's place (our new wwoofing place). Ian is real nice and he has a farm stay type thing going on. We don't have to shovel horse poo here but I do quite like Hannah's and Sam's better. It's mostly pulling out weeds and such but the difference between here and Hannah's is they where teaching us stuff where here I believe Ian just sees it as free labor. But what can you do? Today we worked for 5 hours then biked into town and got some junk food :). On our way back to the farm we found the best playground in the WORLD! You know how parents wanted safer playgrounds so the took all the cool stuff away? Well they missed this one! Cha-Ching! ;)

REAL Wwoofing!

So the last three days me and Graeme where in Lake Tekapo. My favorit place in NZ forsure! The first day we where there was BEAUTIFUL! The second day Graeme went to Mt. Cooke and I went horse back riding along the mountains... NO BIG DEAL... The next day we lazed around and played Plants vs. Vombies. That brings us to today. We got up at 6:00 A.M. to take our tent down and hop onto the Magic bus. We stayed on the bus for no longer than 30 minuets and started walking to a little town called Cave. It was 28 km from where we started but thankfully a nice old farmer came and gave us a ride to our Wwoofing host front door! He was very nice. We then started our first day of work. There wasn't much to do since it was raining aaaaaallllll day. First we shoveled horse poo. Someone PLEASE tell Grandpa that!! Then we had lunch. After we went to the sheep shearing place and cleaned it up a bit. Then we loaded and unloaded firewood. Thats all we did today. Hannah (the wife) is a barrel horse racer and offered to take me riding with her! Shall be loads of fun! But they all ride english style here. I think it's very uncomfortable.

Welp, thats all folks!

P.S.
There won't be any photos for a while. Sorry.

Train trip

Yesterday Graeme took me on a wonderful train trip. :) Here's a lot of pictures!

Dunedins greatest things

So yesterday we found out that there is nothing to do here except a few things. Yesterday we went to the Cadbury chocolate factory! It was pretty awesome since we got free chocolate bars and a shot of liquid chocolate! I got to have two chocolate shots ;). We then did nothing. Today we slept in *Aaaahhhh*. Then got up and walked to the worlds steepest street. It took us 5 minuets to walk to the top. I'll put the photo of the facts since I'm just too tuckered out today! Tomorrow Graeme is taking me on one of the most beautiful train trips there is. :) He's a keeper! We found, not one but two, wwoofing jobs just a little north of here! On real farms! We're both quite excited! :).

Welp, that's all for now! :)
