I then headed back to Blenheim in the hope of finding a job. I arrived at a bad time for work but managed to find a job fairly quickly. The work was on a vineyard and unfortunately the contractor was pretty dodgy so i got ripped off. I did however get 2 weeks work with a more reputable contractor and had a much better time of it. However that finished, so i found a job down in Cromwell, Central Otago starting mid-feb and headed down via Michael and Gillian who had very conveniently moved down to Christchurch!!
The job in Cromwell lasted 6 weeks and was on a vineyard again. The work was easy if tedious and Cromwell itself was a bit of a hole but i met some cool people and had a great time fending for myself.
After that job finished I decided that i'd exhausted the South Island and that i wanted to begin exploring the North Island so flew up to Wellington to stay with Prue, Allan, Rebecca and Callum for a week. I spent 2 days exploring the city, another on Sommes Island and on Easter Sunday we all went up to Levin to see Josie and Helen.
