New Zealand trip

Greetings from beautiful Paihia, where internet is a lot more expensive than in Wellington. (expect fewer updates in the future)

I was pretty broke after leaving Wellington, so to get a bed at night I've been cleaning at a the Saltwater Lodge hostel. 2 hours cleaning bathrooms and vacuuming every day and I get free lodging. Not a bad deal, but definitely not something I ever expected to do. My night job is working at the Swiss Cafe, pictured below. The most Swiss thing we serve seems to be wiener schnitzel or Zuerich style chicken, which I still haven't tried. The current plan is to stay here for about 3 months, but it is a small place (the picture below the Swiss Cafe picture is pretty much the whole town) and I'm not sure how long I'll be able to stay entertained. For now I'm enjoying the beaches and blue water, getting used to waiting tables again and learning to make a bathroom sink shine.
