Hey everybody!!!,
Yes I know I haven't written for a long time, but there just wan't much to tell.
After my 3 months of travelling non stop, I took a rest.
Well actually it was not a rest, I met a friend from the start of the trip(Tom) and went to nelson to work where he was working.
The work was apple picking, you pick a lot of apples into huge bins(400 kg) and get payed by the number of bins you do.

Hey everybody!!!,
Yes I know I haven't written for a long time, but there just wan't much to tell.
After my 3 months of travelling non stop, I took a rest.
Well actually it was not a rest, I met a friend from the start of the trip(Tom) and went to nelson to work where he was working.
The work was apple picking, you pick a lot of apples into huge bins(400 kg) and get payed by the number of bins you do.

The work was very hard, but it was a great experience, working in the sun all day long, a physical work.
We were also a group of 5 israelis and many other people from around the world, sleeping at the same place, eating together, cooking, playing chess, having a lot of fun, going out, playing tennis and soccer, and complainning a lot :).
The month of apple picking just passed really fast, it was one of the best months in my trips.
After the apple picking I had the flu, so I rested a few days.

I then did 2 treks, one in nelson which was very boring, called dun mountain.

And I did avalanche peak in arthur's pass, which is a 1100 meters climb, with great 360 degrees views.
I took a flight from christchurch in the south island to auckland in the north, and now I am in auckland waiting for my flight to Hongkong tomorrow in 10 am.

I am meeting a friend from israel(Yaniv) in hongkong and then we will travel around asia. China, japan and thiland are the countries we want to see.

That's about it, I am done with new zealand, I stayed here 4 months and a half, much more then I expected, and it is indeed an amazing country, I met a lot of great people here, a lot of people I will keep in touch in israel with, and also in other parts of the world.

I did a lot of walking, saw a LOT of views, and also "enjoyed" a month of hard work, which was actually very relaxing.

I think everyone needs to visit new zealand, it's a perfect place to travel, and I hope my next few months in asia will be just as good as these few months, or if possible even better.
Anyways my return time is getting closer, I already did more then half of the trip, so I will be seeing you soon.

Kia Ora

Great write up and really happy you enjoyed visiting New Zealand. Have a great time in Asia.
