We are so sorry it has been so so long since our last post. I couldn't bring myself to post again without being able to put pictures up. I have located the only camera card reader in raglan and it happens to be in the reception office so I'm actually at work right now... shhh! News wise there isn't tons to tell. Andrew got such a bad stomach bug for a few days. I woke up at 3am to find him outside sleeping on his surf board bag because he wasn't able to make the 30 meters to bathroom and back anymore. I managed to nurse him back to health and he's been back out surfing tons so I know he's feeling better. I'm working reception some evenings and Andy is till the on site builder. We both work 2 hours in the morning to pay off our rent and then whatever extra there is to do around the place.
I guess we are official staff here now since we got moved into the "staff" housing (pictures below). Summer is here and it's getting busy so we couldn't be living in a room that potentially could be making money every night.
We continue to work at a bed and breakfast for some extra cash. Andy has created an amazing garden and I usually help out inside, making beds, doing dishes and scrubbing the toilets. The man that owns the place lives in the states 6 months of the year and just got back to NZ to turn the house into a B and B. He had it rented out in winter to quite the Raglan character. An older lady and I were shifting some beds around and found some evidence that quite alot of fun had been had over the winter!
This first picture is for my mom, we had a disagreement about eggs and if they needed to be in the fridge, apparently kiwis think they do not!
This was part of our wwoofing crew, the only one left here now besides us is GO, top left, he got a job washing dishes at the pub.
We celebrated American thanksgiving quite well with our friends Dan, Jen, Dani and nelson.
Staff housing... enough said?
