Hmmm?Did not take a good look at Auckland City since it was a stopover and by the time we reached it was 9pm. Take note that the Overlander Scenic Train is always late due to tracks buggering (sorry for my poor English), engine breakdown, tunnel problems, etc. I did not even catch a very good look of the backpacker hostel (Bamber House). It was such a rush stopover, we should have just took an intercity bus from National Park to Napier. Speaking of intercity, do not, I repeat, DO NOT buy intercity bus or whatever bus at the last minute - It going to cost you a bomb!!! I paid NZD60 from Auckland to Napier for Naked bus and guess how much the intercity bus cost - NZD89. The day before the pricing is NZD45 for intercity bus and NZD49 for Naked bus, but the ride is 7 hours so it's like from Sing going to KL, so if you think like that the heart not so hurts.
Finally reached the Orchard, we are living next to the apples trees, the moment we step out we see apples, you go toilets you see apples, you go kitchen you see apples, not sure after 3 months, will I have nightmares of apples or not.
The owner of the orchard is Ian Mckenzie and he lived in 284 Meeanee Road, Napier. He is a nice old man and that drive us from around to familiarize the town. I am living in 7o Powdrell Road which is a short distance from where Ian lived. The manager of the Orchard is Jamie Marett and there is another guy called Ian who owned a big black dog (not sure of the breed) name Zach that works permanently for Ian Mckenizie.
There are 6 other seasonal workers that we will be working with, which are all in Czech Republic and they are all couples - so loving. Me and Jasmine are the only Asian here, and Ian, the owner, told us we are forbidden to speak Mandarin.
The transport here is riding the bicycle, so mom, you should have let ride a bicycle earlier. But don't worry, I will be an expert in being a cyclist, apples picking, peaches picking, and whatever fruits Ian owned. And I now had a bank account in NZ, that is for Ian to bank in my wages and hopefully I can fill a lot of bins. Oh, if you want nice juicy apples, choose those bright red one with yellow base. The apples picking start on Monday, so 2 free days and we see how it goes.
