Farming in New Zealand
This is a top pick! ... the windy drive through the Desert road. Well I guess it is as close as you'll get to a road through a desert in New Zealand. I arrived in Palmerston North just in time to join in Jill's birthday celebrations. I got talking to Duncan at the party ...
Palerston North
We flew from Christchruch to wellington then drove to Palerston North. The B&B we stayed in was beautiful. The owners did most of the work and we talked with them for ...
Organic Winemaking- bugs just give it protein!
... so I didn't have the patience to wrestle with it. Over in Levin, we stayed at an organic winery called Celtic Winery. Now Levin is not known for weather conducive to grape growing so Malcolm would simply have organic fruit shipped in for the wine. We got ...
Celtic winery wwoofing
Onze tweede wwoofing ervaring is op de celtic winery, een organische fruitwijnerij die vooral bekend staat om het enorme muziekfestival dat ze hier in de zomer organiseren. Een soort sfinx blijkbaar. Onze gastheer is Malcolm, nen engelse exhippy die zijn ...
WWOOFIN' IT ON THE FARM
On Friday we went left Wellington and headed for the The Martin farm in Levin - about 2 hours north of Wellington. Pip and John are so nice and welcoming. We are the only Wwoofer's they have at the moment, so we have our own room and ...
Taranaki Falls, Ohakune, Levin
... al terra. La seguent parada sera "Osgiliath Wood", on farem una caminata ja que no esta permes entrar els vehicles. Sera a Levin on passarem la nit, a un camping molt bonic, molt familiar i amb unes instal.lacions fantastiques. Anirem a comprar quelcom ...
House
Paul and Debbie’s House Just north of Levin we are staying in the most immaculate and practical house we have ever seen. The house site is 8053 square metres. The house takes up 183 square metres of that site and the garage 60 square metres. The ...
Lauren's brush with the law.... twice!!
We had a long drive ahead and all took turns in the drivers seat. Lauren took to the wheel for the last part and got pulled over by the police for a routine breath test. Thankfully she was under the limit. Shortly before we reached our destination she ...
Raetihi, Ohakune, Raukawa Falls, Wanganui & Levin
... nearest one was in Ohakune. We took a 10 km detour to Ohakune after reading that it was proud to be the carrot capital of New Zealand. True enough, as we drove we started to see carrots on the side of the road which had fallen off lorries and noticed ...
Katchafire Concert
We went and saw KATCHAFIRE in concert with Dave and Monique in Levin, a town about an hour and half drive up the coast from Wellington. ...
Wine
... on a local chicken farm. They run a free range egg business so it should be a great learning experience. On our way to Levin we happend to drive through the "Norwegien" part of NZ, the towns were called things like Norsewood and Danevirke and we saw ...
Levin
... Back to the Future car, and the car from Woody Allen's movie "Sleeper" - a futuristic car. It was fun. Spent the night in Levin, which was a complete ghost town on January 2. So we stopped at Donnelly Park in town for a photo op, then headed towards ...
Palmerson North
yeah, so then we drove to Palmerson North and didn't do anything cause we were both super tired. WE ate and watched Gladiator and then did a puzzle. Yeah, I'm 90 years old.... wanna ...
Racehorses in Levin
... during both of our stays with them. Richard dropped us off at the railway station and from there we caught the bus to Levin, just north of Wellington. In Levin we were met by Jane, our next wwoofing host. Jane and her husband Craig live ...
To ski or not to ski
... in the country! We drive in heavy rain across mountains to a fishing town called Wanganaui and thereafter to the small town of Levin. Its a miserable day, not at all fit for sightseeing. Instead we book into a motel (15 euro for an entire house!!) and ...
Lovely Levin
... this or the friendly butcher or the glorious sunshine but we left Levin feeling really good about our experience. So for the score Levin (3.5 x 2) + (3.5 x 2) for a total of 14 and we know who our butcher would be if we moved there. From here ...
Racehorses and noisy cats
... 3.30ish. It rained all afternoon. Watched an episode of the Mighty Boosh though. Tuesday 15th April: Today we left Levin. It was actually kind of sad to leave and say bye to Jane, after we stopped doing anything with the horses ...
Levin-Wellington im Wechsel
... Segelyacht geschlafen. Ich wurde aber ganz sanft in den Schlaf geschaukelt. Am Donnerstagmorgen sind wir wieder nach Levin zurueckgefahren, wir mussten Kaffee ins Whispers bringen und haben dafuer ein richtig leckers Fruehstueck mit porchierten Eiern, ...
Ramon's birthday
... 't even remember what we did to celebrate Ramon's birthday. We DID take a hike up "Trig", a fairly sizable "hill" at the back of Levin in the foothills of the Tararuas. It's a pretty steep climb up for the most part and it has a mountain bike track ...
A week with Ramon (birthday boy)
... round-the-world adventure, NZ from the US was going to kill us (financially). For some reason, round-the-world fares don't like New Zealand! So, we broke the NZ part of the trip out and moved it forward. A week in Levin as a separate ...
Getting to Levin
... we drove up to Levin and stopped along the way for an ice cream. Got to Ramon's after about an hour's drive. Levin doesn't look much like I remember it after 23 years. I remember when we were there in 1987, everything seemed like 1960's ...
Day 15 - Now that's a carrot
... the Raukaka falls, not very spectacular, just a lookout at the side of the road.In Ohakune we visited the largest carrot in New Zealand and, who knows, the universe (very impressive).In Wanganui we did some groceries and went to the Duri Hill Elevator. ...
New Year, camping and beyond!
... her! So glad that she did because we loved her place and she was brilliant too. She owned a smallholding in Levin with loads of chickens, rabbits, ducks and a few sheep. She is planning on building an Earthship house in the near ...
Ten countries in One Day
... a makeable shot around them. All these factors applied in the next course I played in Auckland and most of the courses I saw. Incidently New Zealand has more golf courses per capita than anywhere else in the world. Dave Benson, if you read this, tell Matt ...
The real break begins after 3pm.
... roadside jumping up and down with both thumbs up! Looks like I've done OK. We head off our next stop a beach camp past Levin called Waiterere. We end up being the only living soles in the place. A quiet evening enjoying the good wetather which threatens ...
