Ian and I are heading to do our first Great Walk tomorrow--Lake Waikaremoana. We'll be hiking for about 4 days, and then I'm leaving out of Auckland for Sydney on the 16th to visit a friend from college until the 24th. I'm not sure where we'll be after that--I might go down to Raglan and couch surf with someone I met at the Buddhist center. I would really like to find some temporary work somewhere, but so far haven't had any luck with that. I think I might need to WWOOF for quite a bit more over the next couple months in order to make my dollars stretch, but that's okay. There are some pretty cool WWOOF families in our book that I think would be fun to hang out with, so we'll see. For right now I'm really looking forward to our 4 day hike, and the weather on the eastern coast has warmed up quite a bit, so that's great. And I can't wait to see Lara in Sydney, so yay for that!
