Oh dear.. It seems as though NZ has very strong pollen. At the stonefly lodge I woke up after my second day feeling very ill. I ended up leaving early because I was feeling so sick. But it was also a good excuse because I wasn't having a very good time at this particular wwoof experience. The lodge was very nice and the view was breathtaking, however the hosts were not of the "wwoof standard" that I have boasted about previously.. They were very caught up in there business and would host wwoofers for exploitation of cheap labor. I am writing my own rule book as I learn lessons about where look for hosts. The cool part about my timing was that a discovery channel crew was at the lodge filming for a tourism show to be aired sometime in 2012. I captured some footage of their helicopter landing on site in at the lodge.
After three days I caught a ride with this guy I was working with at the lodge (building a stone wall) and headed back to nelson. This is when I realized I had the hay fever.. which actually is not as bad as a flu or virus. But regardless it felt good to leave that slave yard. Ah to be free again..
Back on the road heading to Takaka which is located on the west coast in the Golden Bay region. The West coast is known for its scenery.
cheers,
