Ok, the rest of my pictures are up. In large part, they are up to date, at least for the moment.

Currently, Maggie and I are back at Carolyn's. I know this might strike you as ridiculous. Like what are we thinking because aren't we here to see a whole country and isn't this family tired of us yet? But we've seen a lot and will see more and this family is the best family, giving us no impetus to leave, unless they come out and express their dissatisfaction with our many happy returns. This time things are different because we are here more as renters than wwoofers, staying at their house and going to work on the vineyard every day! The vineyard we work for is called Greenhough (http://www.greenhough.co.nz/our-wines) and the two vineyards we work in are in beautiful places where you can see mountain and ocean all at once. This differs from apple-picking in a number of significant ways.
1) Our boss is so nice.
2) We are paid hourly, so not only is it pressure-free, but we even get breaks! Rules.
3) Though tough on the back and clipper hand, there are no ladders and you aren't carrying any weight, which makes the whole thing far more bearable.
4) We get to return home to a lovely home at Carolyn's. Though I "loved" the caravan, this is better.
5) We mostly work with older people who we think are just friends of the owner, so comparatively we seem like we are in stellar shape, which gives us a nice ego boost and makes us work on without complaint, so as not to spoil a perfectly good facade.

Yesterday Maggie and I were purring about the cush life of grape picking versus apple, and I thought Maggie summed it up well:
"Trying to make apple-picking sound good is like trying to sell this workout to people: do the stairmaster for 8 hours, as fast as you can, with 50 pounds weights strapped on your front. But don't worry, it isn't straight steps...between every few steps we'll pick up the stairmaster and move it a few feet."

Now, things are wonderful all around.
