New Plymouth

Beautiful, beautiful place. Situated on a peninsula, surrounded by the ocean, back-dropped by mount Takanaki, I feel so lucky to have landed here!

The farm is a 45 minute walk from town, 20 minute walk from the ocean. It's bigger than the one I was on last week and I'm staying in a caravan instead of the main house. It's great to have my own room, privacy is quite hard to come by when traveling on a budget! I work for four hours in the morning, either weeding or pick up fejoias (that's the name of the little green fruit!). Then I'm free to wander in the afternoons.


Since the town is close I've spent a couple afternoons wandering around and poking around the many cute boutiques along it's main road -- if only my bag wasn't already over-capacity! (Plus I learned from A. at the last WWOOFing place that it cost her 100$ to sent 4kgs back to France! yikes...)

Yesterday there was a wind storm and I decided to go to the beach. The water here is crazy cold after Asia, but the views are incredible!
