The Week in Photos

Living on the South Island now with a family of 4-the hosts Pete and Kirsten, and their two girls Lucy and Charlie. I am too lazy to write a thorough description because I am busy doing all the cool stuff these photos show. Though, I will add that this family is relaxed, my wwoofing duties are easy, and this weekend they took me to their bach (holiday home) up in the Southern Alps where I got to sight-see more of NZ (all for free exchange for playing Harry Potter with the girls for hours on end, doing dishes, and gardening). Have I ever mentioned that WWOOFing is awesome? So in summary, I have found a great family in a great place. Here are my pictures!
The view from my hosts' roof!
This is Lucy. She is the coolest 7 yr old I know, and I wish I was 7 again so that I could be her best friend.
At the wharf below my hosts house, awesome eh?
Lucy confused.
Pete working with kids at his outdoor ed camp. I got to run around and take publicity photos.

Playing Harry Potter-the "sorting boot" obviously

Driving in New Zealand you come across movie sets constantly..recognize this from the ending battle scene in Chronicles of Narnia?
