Hanging out in Tauranga

Enjoying the Sunshine back in Tauranga

Hello folks! For the past two weeks we have been hanging out in Tauranga with our friends from Germany, Chile and US. We have been learning a lot about each others country and even trying to learn how to speak Spanish and German! We even learned how to cricket and quickly learned that the game never ends.

One day last week, we all headed to McLaren Falls which is south of Tauranga. It was a good day had by all!

We also climbed the Mount again and this time it was much quicker!

We all decided to pick kiwifruit flowers for a local contractor here in town. We finally started on Tuesday Nov.10. At the end of each day you weight in and then get paid by the kilo. Needless to say we all didn't do very well. After picking kiwifruit flowers for three days, most of us decided to find something else.

This was a very quick blog but we wanted to keep everyone in the loop. Please feel free to comment and send us a quick email.

Our next blog will have a picture of our car and sleeping quarters.

Cheers!!
