It finally came time to leave the Bay of Plenty for the summer. We planned to be away in the South Island for approximately 8months - living in our van, interspersed with some housesitting and lots of hunting, fishing and generally just going wild!
First stop was on a rural property near Levin. This housesit was a referral from a previous house sit we had enjoyed a few years back. It is really nice to meet people through others we have sat for already.
The cats and dogs at this sit all got on so well together. We just love it when everyone loves each other!

Then there was this amicable and very cute rescue pony, Mini. Talk a bout a cutie!
This was a short sit and there wasn't much on the jobs list so we just kicked back and enjoyed the company of the furbies.
And the views
Next, we were onto Wellington where Clare spent a week hanging out with her Mum and James spent much of the week fishing off the coast around the city. One would be forgiven for thinking there wouldn't be much to catch so close to the capital, but James proved that theory wrong. He caught a barracouta, a gurnard (our favourite eating fish) and a really decent size kahawai. The latter two finding their way into our bellies.
