We wanted to get out of Auckland as soon as we could as we
didn’t want to end up like the guys on our room at Base. So we headed north to
the country’s most northerly city, Whangarei
(pronounces phang-a-ray or wong-a-ray). We stayed with a family who owned
farm and for few hours work a day we received accommodation and food (and
really good food at that). Just to the back of the main house was a little
cottage which is where we stayed. We helped clear out some of the cottage and
made a cool den for the children and painted the window frames.
Shirley and Ian were really nice and Shirley took us to see
the local sights like Whangarei Falls and some of the local beaches. We
arranged this stay through HelpX.org and would do it again as it gave us a real
insight in to kiwi life.
and there's Norman on the beach....
and in the mandarin tree at the Herbert House.....
Ciao for now
