So we're finally moving on.

After about 2 weeks of warm hospitality, weather, and memories we're moving on to another host farm about 30 min away. We're confident that we'll return to the Birdlands Wildlife Sanctuary as we conclude our loop of the southern island. The surroundings are just too beautiful and waking up to a chorus of bellbirds, peacocks display while making breakfast, and darting fantails make for a most enjoyable live/work environment. The food was also terrific...home made breads, meat pies, chocoberry muffins and our own splash of lemonade fasting thrown inbetween. We'd mention the obvious, but we're sure you can tell from our pictures that life here is wholesome. We'll keep you posted as things come about.

Entrance to Banks Penninsula. Should we stay?

Yes...we do spend some time working. Pioneering new trails!

time gone... time's long

So, were 21 hours ahead of y'all... which means weære totally in the future. No worries, everything is cool on this side.
After a breif self guided tour through Auckland proper, we're living it up on a bird sanctuary in Little River, just outside Christchurch on the Banks Peninsula. Stoked with our setup, seriously cannot stop smiling, even through work (digging holes, bundling sticks, sweeping boardwalks, you know, regular stuff). Landscape is breath-taking, really, cause we've been running up and down this hill and are totally out of shape (not for long!). Pictures soon to come... biking around the valleys and bays has been such a rare and rural treat. We got a watch, so we know what day and time is is now (always now,here). we will let the pictures do the talking...

breathe. be.

travelers of space and time... let the journey begin again!
