hello , Well we have escaped from the pears finally the six days of work ( i no its not very long) were horrid in all honesty we started @ 8 had to were hyge blue shirts , hairnet and gloves and be inside all day not what i like doing . It was a good experience thou . Our job was picking the pears from the Bins and placing them in a box for 8 hours a day ( sometimes 12 hours) + you cant really talk due to the sound of the machines and no music you could easliy go insane . We both hate pears now. However it wasnt all bad we made brilliant freinds - Dekel and Michal very funny isralies who were lovely to us driving us around and just so nice . Sam and Nigel a lovely Kiwi and a English lass . David and Sandrine from France also great with there singing and picking up English. Last night cause we were leaving all the couples made a dish from there continant and we all ate together and tried new stuff . We made a quite an impressive Toad in the hole with peas and gravy. I loved living here its such a shame to have to leave when you find such people but we had to get away from the pack house . To night to cheer ourselfs up after the three girls droped us off we might go to a pub and have a roast so xcitin !!!!!!! We are of on our travels tmoz goin down to Greymoth . Love you all xxxxxxxxxx Joanne xxxxxxxxxxx
