It's Good Friday! Here in New Zealand, it's a big day and there will be public holidays for Friday and Monday for me, even the supermarkets are closed on Friday and Sunday.
I went to Taylors Mistake with three of my friends in the holiday park. Departed around 7.30am and the journey took us 2 hours and more. We drove by Christchurch and Scarborough Beach on the way and reached there around 10am. We took the track towards the Godley Head from Taylors Mistake, the estimated time written there is 1 hour and 45 minutes for one way but we ended up taking more than 3 hours. Taking photos, having lunch and talking, that's why. Hahaha.
There's a lot of remains of World War II there, posted some of the photos below. It's a really nice track, we didn't knew that there were something like that before we hiked on that track, all we expected are nice views. And of course, we got them too! The waves here are epic, perfect for surfing. You can see surfers all over the beach in Scarborough Beach, but not as much in Taylors Mistake. Scarborough Beach is like a paradise for surfers. One day I gonna try surfing, it's like a must-do thing haha.

2016-03-27 Potluck Party!
We are working today even though it's Sunday, as the public holidays were held on Friday and Monday. But since we are not working the next day, we had a potluck party at the holiday park!
I cooked spaghetti with minced beef with Jack and Roy for sharing. There were sushi rolls, green curry potatoes, apple cake, fried tomato egg, minced meat rice, apple cake, roasted chicken and fried lettuce. I remained full until late midnight hahaha. It's easy to held a party in a holiday park full of your friends, you don't have to invite one by one haha, everyone will attend it. It's been a long time since I enjoyed myself that much and talked that much haha. It's a great memorable night anyway!
For those who wondered about the apple picking job, here are some photos about it.
This is how a bin looks like. For contract rate in this orchard, it will be $45-50 for a bin.
The Ag machine, used as platform to pick the apples at the upper part of the trees.
