From SD to NZ

I MADE IT!

From SD to NZ- From Summer to Winter- From South to North... or North to South depending on how you look at it.
I arrived right at sunrise in Auckland and happened upon Andreas the German woodworker living in Raglan- That was a convienient coincidence cause it was where I was headed and I had no idea how to get there. Just follow the German.
Anyways it took the full day but we got here- right at sunset. This place is gorgeous, the bay is huge and surfers anywhere would be jealous... and then pissed if they knew there is no way I am getting in that water (brrrr).
Solscape is a very familiar comfortable place, with the waves in the background and living in a trailer of sorts.... My accomidation is a converted caboose- with a bunk bed inside- then the station house has a toasty fireplace, kitchen and showers and bathrooms. Im here with 6 other woofers (one of which is from Argentina and is currently sounding out Du-sh-bag as taught to him by the guy from Santa Cuiz), there are 3 people from Argentina, one from Holland and 2 from Cali. Then there

are 2 Germans here as well. Everybody is very friendly and helpful.
I spent today cleaning and then picking spinach and kale from the garden- looking to go to the local water falls tomorrow and thinking about buying a van... Anyways thanks for reading and welcome to my blog, hopefully this wont be my last entry.

So, I assume you like it so far. Why so many people there to pick spinach? Good idea to set up this website. I will send it to GMA. Can't wait to see more, keep it current, I like it. Tell the Crouts, "Auch To Mina Goota" "Oh my goodness" Love You, Dad
