Wild Thornberrys Wildlife

What do I do here?

I love Wanaka! Regular readers have already seen photos of Wanaka, because I was there twice when I was working on the West Coast. And since Wanaka again the next "town" is from my workplace, I'm obviously went there again when I had my first free day.

Wanaka is wonderful to get an open mind and think. And I've done and I a few, but made very important questions: first
What I came to New Zealand?
To my head to get free and to pick apples.
second Why do I do that, then?
Because there are no jobs in the Obstpflückbranche.
third OK, what you been doing in New Zealand the most fun?
to work on the farm, the physical work and being out.
4th And why are you working then in the cafe?
Because I have to earn money.
5th Are you happy there?
No, not at all. Zero. Unhappy even.
6th Is there no alternative?
(And here it comes) BUT! Viticulture!
And as luck would have it so I have after I run something, and I have these questions answered emails checked and there came a little from a private vineyard, vineyard, wine ... I find the right word is not the first At times it is called English Vineyard (vineyard, but it's not a mountain), or Winery (winery?). You know what I mean. Anyway, I was that schonmal beginning of the year in contact and now have a place for me. and it is very close. And then I went there directly and got me and I will be looked at, yes, will, because I start there on Monday, first vines crop, cut off the bad grapes, so the good can grow and then harvest
:-) We have done the same fix, because I'm here at the Cafe still no contract signed, and can go whenever I want. So tomorrow. This is really where their own fault, for wanting one weeks trial period to see whether they want to keep me, but I can now go the same way. As I've said notice this morning they were all very verständisvoll, I found it very nice and gave it to me easier. Because in the previous post I have some understatement, I like it here that is absolutely not. And I could see the good side, but the bad sides have weighed too much. This whole
Mud everywhere, I think the kitchen at the cafe was not cleaned properly for months. No matter now, am going tomorrow morning :-)
That's the luxury here, which I have, If it is not me somewhere, I just go, so for me it has no consequences.
After all the talk now a few photos.
When I returned back to Makarora have shown the mountains and lakes again at their best. Here the Lake Hawea:

And Lake Wanaka:

As if they say wanted "Blein but here".
But where I go's is not bad. This is a view of Queenstown and Arrowtown:

And here's the view of the Gibbston Valley, where I work in the future:
And for all those interested, here's a link to the website of my "winery."
fully Looking forward to it!
