Wantoo Wantoo

WantooWantoo, the address (1212) and slogan of our last wwoof farm in New Zealand. 35 acres in the region of Motueka, S. island NZ. WantooWantoo is all about wanting to do what you do. This was probably the most relaxed farm yet because we got to choose our work and got to play with the family as work too (who wouldn’t want too)! On the 35 acres there are 2 cows, 2 pigs, 40 chickens, 3 single human beings and 2 families. A great environment. We stayed here for 2 weeks and did a total of a million things (not really) consisting of milking the cow and making cheese. There is a river right by so we swam and fished. We also had many campfires which we used to make bread rolls on sticks called damper. These are most of the experiences we got to do at wantoowantoo and enjoyed our selves for 2 weeks.

Week Of Freedom

After leaving Marama farm we had a week to travel up the west coast of the south island. We left Gore on the 3rd of April to head up into Fiordland NZ. We managed to do 2 hikes, one to Key Summit and one to Lake Marion both close to each other and moderately easy. Key Summit has a nice view of Lake Marion and were pretty hikes but nothing amazingly different than any thing else. We also drove to Milford Sound. It is very touristy with nothing going on, except cruises to see the plentiful wildlife. We did not take one of these cruises but did go on a board walk from a parking lot to a dock. This was pretty much what we did in Fiordland.
On the 6th of April we headed up to Mount Cook. While going up to Mount Cook we went through Queenstown where we did bungy jumping off a 43 meter high bridge (we have photos)! It was an excellent thrill and very smooth ride, we highly recommend it. While at Mount Cook we went on a hike in horrible weather and left later that day. For the last days we went up to Fox Glacier and drove all the way to the north tip of the south island were we are woofing.
