We Found Jobs

Leaving Dunedin was a bummer. Have you guys figured out I have a issues with leaving places yet? :) Dunedin is such a cool city. Hip people, cool bikes, great food, nice people, and free "camping". I have decided that cities must be rated on a Peter5x scale. (Or a P5x as it will be known from here on out) Brett and Zoey know what that is. Anyways... Dunedin is a must see for travelers on the south island of New Zealand...

Yes like I was saying... We left with hopes of a call from a job agency we registered with that places people in the fruit picking industries. As soon as a farm needed someone this agencies was too call us and place us where we needed to be. Leaving from Dunedin, we headed west, board as all get out.

I decided that we should go see an area called Milford Sound. We were told it is one of the prettiest places in the world. When you leave Dunedin you have a couple of options via highway. Obviously the direct way. But there is a vague scenic route on the map. We chose the latter.

Now... safety aside, the rules are a little bit different out here in the Zealands, and that is all I'm going to say about what your about read.

So there we are driving out of town, when an opportunity arises that will not only calm us down, but give some fun to the adventure we were pursuing. We found a liter of wine in the back seat and said "well hell... Its not going to drink it's self"... The conversation lifted, and the spirits were in full effect by the time we decided food was in order.

Out of nowhere a crappy dinner appears in the right side window. I probably pass it by 500 meters when we realize we should eat. Stopped in the middle of the street I back up, and park in a suitable spot just out side the main gaits.

The cafe was cute, running an all day menu that changes at 5:30 for a full on super kinda thing. The food was tasty and healthy and grounded us back to earth.

Upon paying we saw a sign stating that the cafe was in need of seasonal workers. We told the lady who was serving us that we were in need of work. She was overjoyed with our availability and eagerness to start, and introduced us to the owner, Amanda.

Amanda, told us she was waiting on two others to arrive for the job that she had spoken to earlier in the week. Depending on how the phone call went she might be able to use us. So we thanked her and went on our way.

Slope Point was where we headed next for a quick sleep. Slope Point is the southern most point of the South island of New Zealand. This night just so happened to be Summer Solstice in the Southern hemisphere. The daylight was full on until almost 11:30 pm. We found a car park area meant for RV's and site seeing on the top of a cliff with a wonderful view.

The sunset was amazing. That's two summer solstices for me this year.

The next day we got a call from Amanda asking us to come in at 5 pm. Hooray we are employed now.
