Today we begun a new form of accommodation/holiday as we became seasonal workers in the Marlborough Wine Industry!
I'm now acutely aware why "Migrant Worker" is not a popular program selection for college sophomores.
Don't get me wrong, it's actually not bad work ... it's just working with the boredom that gets to you!
Our job today was to walk along the rows of grapes (Cabernet Savignon, since you asked) and trim off any stray branches. This allows the vines to concentrate on those bundles of grapes it has and bring them to full fruit. We were mercifully allowed to bring our iPods with for entertainment.
Janwyn personally seemed to take to the task very well, enjoying the aspects of gardening and the luck of having a good weather day.
We'll do this for at least the next four days, before heading back to Kaikoura and attempting to do the Whale Watch again. Should be a experience full of interesting tales!
