Maori visit!

Today was a great day..not too much work and we had a big maori family visiting us:) Really nice people, very open and friendly! The dad was so cool and had a big tatoo in his face...i think thats very common in the maori culture.
Me and dave got entertained by a group of women in the garden singing maori songs and playing on their lukkeleles(spelling failed), it was great:)
Before they left one of the women asked if we wanted to come to her home in Bay of Plenty in the north island and work for living, like we do now. It would be gardening and painting her house and she said she will take us out to some real "maori things".
WOuld be great to learn more and get introduced properly to the maori culture:)
 ... although we were planning to move towards the south island and do grapefruit picking after this, but that can always wait a few weeks..
We have another alternative aswell as we today got introduced to another lady who has contacts in the farming and fruitpicking business and she said she would love to help us out when we go down to the south island. That would be a paid job, which we will need sooner or later!

It will all work it fine im sure:)

here we have a photo of the pancake rocks!! and it doesnt have anything to do with this blog except that i miss pancakes!!!


Now im looking forward to a nice dinner, bangers and mash:) korv o potatis! a little break from all the roasted dinners were having every night:) getting so spoiled here with the food...its gna be hard going back to cocking our own again after this:)

Talk again soon.
