Endlich sind die gelben Kiwis bereit, gepflückt zu werden, zumindest ein Teil von ihnen. Die Arbeit ist meist unvorhersehbar, da dieRead more











Emily Embo🇬🇧Kiwis, Kiwis, Kiwis Finally, the yellow kiwis are ready to be picked, at least some of them. The work is mostly unpredictable, as the orchards need to test the kiwis, and not all kiwis pass the test at the same time. Therefore, my work takes me to different orchards at different times. Sometimes, we're told to work until 11:30 a.m., but if a test result comes back positive, we end up going to another orchard. Then, there's also the weather to consider, which has been great in the past few days but not today. That's why I have time to write this blog; the rainy weather has given me a day off. I need this day to rest my body. The 20kg heavy basket or sack pulls on my shoulders and has occasionally rubbed my skin raw, but thankfully, it's okay now. My fingers ache in the morning, and things constantly slip from my hands and those of my roommates because we simply lack the strength. Additionally, there are bruises all over my body, insect bites (I now prefer wearing long pants despite the warmth), sore feet, and much more. Sometimes, when falling asleep, I find myself making the picking motion with my arms, which is frightening. Well, it's not all that bad because I'll probably be picking kiwis for another three and a half weeks, so everything is foreseeable. It's also very interesting to see the variety of kiwis available. We're familiar with the green and yellow ones, but there's also a red kiwi that tastes a bit like a berry, and the kiwi berry, which tastes like a mix of green kiwi and grape. I'll say goodbye for now. Let's see when I'll have time to write another blog entry. If there are any questions about kiwis or anything else, let me know. :)
