Nearly every morning, between the campsite and the pack house, we can admire this wonderful sunrise. So this morning : picture!

Clyde Orchard, working at cold store
A new week start and now we are doing nectarines. It’s faster than peaches because there is less steps between the beginning or the chain and us.
Clyde, first day off after 12 working days
Fiou! Finally, after 12 days non stop, we have a day off. Those weeks was intense and I didn’t have the time and the energy to come back in Alexandra and pay to get internet. We should have less work the next week and more time to enjoy. I’m working in the cold store almost since the beginning. We are packing peaches on pallet during more or less 8 hours a day. The temperature is between 2 and 5 degrees but to re heat a bit this place we have good sound system and music :-)
Clyde, first working day
Hey, today for my birthday, I’ve got a nice gift : a job :-) For the dinner I bought a sparkling bottle and a black forest cake… We enjoyed it together with Charlotte, Matthieu and Leo. Simple evening.
Clyde > Alexandra last days before work
We passed yesterday afternoon in Alexandra and then found a good place to sleep not far from the city centre. The trees procure us a good shelter and nobody can see us from “outside”.
Clyde > Alexandra, looking for a job
This morning we are having a look around the campsite and visit the different orchards. We are at the beginning of the peach and nectarines season so we should find something soon. We hope. So, let’s start with McIntosh orchard. The guy looks serious and the place as well. In two days, some students are going to come back to school. We will come back later…
Alexandra, bloggy day off (24km, 45min)
Today, it’s a bloggy day. I’m writing and writing because I have one week in late. At least the library accept to charge mobile phone, tablet and computers for free so I’m stuck here until I finished my job :-)
