New Zealand by Nico: mars 2013

samedi 30 mars 2013

Saturday 30 march, pizza party at the next door, I could meet farmers and ate tasty pizza baked in wood fire, the place was beautiful a house with a lot of charms, people very friendly, I drank a new zealand wine and beers. Even if it's difficult to understand people and to follow the talk, I enjoyed the moment.

And before, I have feeded the sheeps with some maïs and I could caressed their deep wool, I have never do that before, They were not afraid of me ! Very good time !

I biked around the house in the private propriety and also on the road and it was a magical moment. I felt very free, this area is so wild.

Hawke's Bay

I arrived at Hawke's bay area after 5 hours of bus, very good plan very cheap and easy. So my host is came pick me up and he has drived until his house. About 15 min from Hasting's and I could see than the country is very dry and it's a problem for the farmers said my host.

Here there are almost nobody and it's so wild with the hills it's really very particular. And I never seen so many sheeps in my life. Where I watch somewhere I can see a sheeps.

Butch my host has a small house but very pretty and pleasant with a big windows where I can look the sheeps and the landscape far away.

My room is amazing all in wood and very cozy, Butch is carpenter and I think very gifted with his hands, he has a big work shop with a lot of machines. There is a good atmosphere inside with the smell of woods.

For me this place is a small paradise, today I have helped butch to feed with maïs the pheasants in his propriety, on his quad, it was incredible, It was like indiana jones, very crazy.
I enjoy really to be here in the true New Zealand !
