So apparently when it rains really hard at
Waiora, the pond overflows on one side and pours down the hill.
That's were
today's WWOOF task for Jan and I comes in. The goal is to build the earth up on that side to block the unwanted watershed. We had to dig up some existing fence poles that had cement foundations that were deeply rooted in some crazy wet clay. The project took a couple of hours. Jan and I gave ourselves clay face painted warrior motifs and called it a victory. After that I straight chilled all day. The sun was out after 24 hours of on and off rain. Jan made Slovenian pancakes for dinner and we're about to play a
competitive game of
UNO(they have
whack rules in Slovenia)
I leave
Waiora tomorrow. :( I am hitching a ride with Angela down to
Whangerei and then I'm going to hitch up to
Warkworth, where Shawn from the Animal Sanctuary is going to pick me up. I'll be at the Sanctuary for the next week and a half or so. Wish me luck! :)
