Viaggiatore Marilyn, I love that you are so adventurous and yet so safety oriented 🤩. Stay safe and enjoy the rest of your trip.
Viaggiatore Yes! Right before the end of the trip, almost like a teaser to get us to come back?

Before we left Taupo we were treated to another fabulous sunset as we sat on the deck of the Two Mile Sailing Club, after Mrs WT had increased her pitch and putt wins to 2-0, with two holes in oneLeggi altro
Viaggiatore Has Joy considered a career in pitch and putt? Your apartment looks wonderful. Google has an hour of the tui birdsong so you can listen when you’re back home xx
Viaggiatore Ha you've played pitch and putt with us, I think it was a fluke, especially as I lost my ball in the pond and had to go and get another one, although that wasn't my fault, it went up a mechanical ski slope and bounced out 😄 The Tuis are funny it's like they have tui tourettes

Emily Embo 🇬🇧Already working hard? While I wait for the message that work is starting, I spend my time in Papamoa. A small place by the beach, with many freedom camping sites and warm showers (if you sneak into the old employer’s holiday park). A little further north, there is a small mountain where you can watch the sunrise, so that’s where I want to go tomorrow morning. The alarm rings at five o’clock, and with only three hours of sleep, I’m off. It’s a popular place where I meet many people on my way. A bit sweaty, I reach the top and wait another half hour until the sun rises. Today the weather is supposed to be wonderful, and the early rays make me forget that I had so little sleep. In good spirits, I descend again and have a coffee in a café, observing people, ships, and animals. There are also many runners, so I grab my running gear and start jogging. After ten kilometers, that’s enough for now, as I still haven’t had breakfast. I sneak into the holiday park of my old employer and treat myself to a warm shower, all for free. Now there’s something to eat, and I lie down on the beach in the sun. Pretty soon, though, I realize that I’m feeling worse and a cold is coming on. Have I overdone it? By the end of the day, I was completely sick and just lay in the van trying to sleep, but it’s difficult when the sun is beating down on it.
Emily Embo The next night, I slept little again. Now it’s off to the pharmacy to get fit for work. Because on Wednesday it’s starting, there was already an orientation on Tuesday evening. My cold held back on the workday, and I was able to pick 2.8 tons of kiwis (yes, that’s per person). My shoulders hurt because the bags we carry can weigh 20KG, but the work itself is very simple. The goal is to fill and empty the bags in three and a half minutes. On the first day, we almost reached that goal. The work is still very chaotic because we have to wait for approval that the kiwis have passed the ripeness test. So far, only one orchard has given the OK, but in one and a half days, we were done with it. Now it’s time to wait again, but at least I have a comfortable accommodation. I sleep in Bongo, but a woman has converted her garage into a kitchen/living room, and there’s also a bathroom and a laundry room. I share that with two other young women from England and Singapore. At work, I also have Bi, my old colleague from Te Anau. It’s nice to see her at work! By the way, I pick yellow kiwis, there are also red kiwis and of course, the green ones. I’ll take a photo of the red ones when they’re ripe :)

Viaggiatore Huhu Cindy, na das wäre ja was für mich .... wäre schon auf der Fahrt tot umgefallen und dann noch das Handy weg .... Panik pur.
Viaggiatore Ja....das war es auch....gut dass sich alles in Wohlgefallen aufgelöst hat.... bin echt froh über die vielen ehrlichen Menschen hier....
Viaggiatore Genau wie du es beschrieben hast, ginge es mir damals auch mit dem Weg zum Hot Water Beach. 😅 Irgendwann hat man sich gefragt ob das überhaupt noch der offizielle Weg ist! Hat sich also nichts geändert 😂.
Viaggiatore Nee die Straßen sind anscheinend nicht besser geworden.... ist schon ein Abenteuer....einzig gute.... die Neuseeländer schein Fußfaul zu sein... es führen Straßen überall hin...selbst in abgelegene Winkel....
