Wwoofing in Taupo

Опубліковано: 19.10.2017


We have been in Taupo for four days now, a small but beautiful city in the middle of the North Island, known primarily for its location on the large Lake Taupo and for all the adrenaline activities (skydiving, bungee jumping, rafting, etc.) that can be done here.

Unfortunately, we won't be jumping off a cliff here on a rope. Instead, we prefer to take it easy and on Monday we went to Huka Falls, a small waterfall in the Waikato River that flows through Taupo.





Yesterday we took a boat tour on Lake Taupo to see the famous Māori Rock Carvings, an artwork that four artists worked on for four years until 1980. A Māori commissioned it as a monument to his ancestor Ngatoroirangi, whose face should be depicted in the artwork.






About Wwoofing: Our work for the one week we are here consists of helping Jacqui, who is about 60, in the garden for 4 hours a day. In return, we get to stay with her and have our meals paid for. Some of the tasks we have done for her so far include weeding, spreading new soil, tidying up the garden, and yesterday we gave some of her old garden furniture a new coat of paint. I don't want to complain about the work, but we are still glad to be heading to the East Coast in Napier on Sunday, where we can spend 2 nights for free on a couch without having to work ;)
