Jesse and I are back in wonderful sunny Golden Bay. I am doing housekeeping for their 3 rental units and Jesse is doing maintenance around the property. No matter where we are on the property (with the exception of where we are all sleeping) we are able to see the ocean and the wonderfully gorgeous bay. The water is such a bright blue mixed with green. Antje is our host and she is such a good cook. Very healthy and hearty foods which are wonderful and delicious. We will spend the entire month of February here and I know that I will be sad once we leave. It is such a great place to relax and rejuvenate and to reconnect with nature.
One of their rental properties is the Little Greenie and it has been rated as the most energy efficient house in New Zealand. It is such a great thing to clean as the energy efficiency theme apparently translates to human energy during the cleaning process and is a breeze. They also have a house truck, which is a very Kiwi thing. The house truck is much smaller but does tend to take longer. Imagine that, cleaning a house truck and having it take longer than cleaning a whole house!! The third rental property is the Hippie House and that takes the longest. Check out their website at goldenbayhideaway.co.nz and see for yourself where we are!
It's not all been roses though, as we've had a few minor issues with our car. Actually Jesse is working on fixing some of those things now as I type. Hopefully we can get it all squared away and working properly before we leave and head south. We've booked a train ride for my birthday and so will be heading accros the alps. Really looking forward to that as we've not done a train ride yet. We will then spend 3 nights in Christchurch at a hostel that used to be a jail. Should be a fun time.
Cheers,
Beverly
