Kia Ora !
Well, week one in. Its been hard, its not all that flat around New Zealand..i dont really know what i was thinking. It didnt even register that it was uber hilly here. At least ill come home toned !
The week has been good, there is 5 volunteers staying in Auckland at the moment, 3 english, one dutch and one belgium. we all seem to be rubbing along well... which is nice..
weve spend the week pulling up weeds, mainly two, named; Carcua grass and wandering jew... we have spent the past week pondering about the name of the latter. It been hard work massive hill to walk down to the site and of course the inevatable walk back up to get home, but hey, all good excercise eh?.
So im currently writing this from Paihai in the Bay of Island.. 144 of them all together (islands that is). Myself and the other english folk..Jordan and Fran.. decided to take a trip for the weekend...it helped that the trip was free curtosy of WAVA as part of the welcome pack. It took 4 hours by coach to get here so we decided to make a weekend of it and stay overnight. Paihai is where the Treaty of Waitangi was signed so I spent the day taking in the history and learning about NZ-UK relations, its very intresting ! Unfortunatly the weather turned and it began to rain in the evening. Im hoping the weather will be OK tomorow as we are planning to go on a boat trip to see all 144 islands...i think.. maybe not all..
Anyway, time to go..hope you are all OK back in the UK. I send you lots of love !!]
