Hello friends! So we have have made it to NZ finally, here we have spent two days in the beautiful town of Queenstown, and then we headed to the Central Otago, in a town called Roxburgh, where we are now staying with an awesome family. We are working about 5 hours a day doing minor labor work, weeding the gardens, stripping wallpaper, and cleaning up after their recently renovated home. On their 30 acre property they have a lot of cows, a nice dog named Rosey (which Allie loves), and a oversized ginger cat named Frankie. They are very nice people and they are introducing us to a lot of very nice New Zealand traditional meals. We couldn't have asked for a better family for our first WWOOF-ing experience... WWOOF-ing is Willing Workers On Organic Farms. Which is what we are doing besides the fact it is not an organic farm, but a dairy farm. Supposedly WOOF-ing is pretty popular around NZ and Australia.. well hope all is well back home, we were sad to miss Thanksgiving with our families, but we are having an awesome time here, Love you guys and Happy Thanksgiving, hope you all had a good one...
-Dane and Allie
P.S. - Pictures of what were doing will be up soon, so please check back soon and let us know what you think!
Sounds like you are having a great experience!
