Oamaru

Oamaru, 26th jan - 1.feb

Ok, so it's not quite an organic farm.... It's a beatifull old settlers house that has been saved from decay and given new life in the form of a hostel with organic and artistic influences. A work in progress, as any wwoofer who stays with Kelly at Chillawhile will find out. The chance to be part of this ongoing project, and the space to be creative whenever or however I pleased, meant that this week simply flew by. And the great people I shared this experience with, made it truly special. Thanks guys!



















Out and about in Oamaru... A town festival with everything from Ronald McDonald to canons, to rowing races, to rope ladders that won't stay still..... And then a visit to the historical town center, with quaint little shops showing what life was like when the early scottish settelers lived here, and a glimpse of the world of artists that have given Oamaru a new, creative identity.

Yeah, chillawhile backpackers. A really nice, special place. As you said, time is just flying by. I have been there altogether nearly 7 weeks and I enjoyed it a lot.
Nice blog and some really nice pictures.
