Wild on Waiheke

I'm currently sitting in Wild on Waiheke cafe eating drunken pear something or other salad and sipping Waiheke cider, literally sitting on a wine vineyard. Not too sure it gets much better than this.

Yesterday I took the ferry from Auckland to the island, where I was met by Thomas and Kristin, my wwoofing hosts. They're wonderful, all about their rescued chickens, cats, and eco-friendliness. I don't think they even have a garbage can. We took the five minute walk to the breathtaking beach, swam in perfect water, and went back to the house to enjoy omeletes made from their chickens' eggs and a salad straight from the garden.



I spent the morning wandering around aimlessly, and I ended up making friends with the staff at a local winery. The scenery is simply stunning everywhere, the people as friendly as could be. I could certainly get used to this place.
