The reason I haven't been updating as much is because either I've been to tired or have been to busy. Also we don't have wifi at our apartment and I have to walk down to the hotel to use it...that's alot work when your tired lol
Were on week two for the farm, I have no idea how time keeps going by so fast! We only have two more weeks until we're done on the farm and then were off to Portugal to surf! Cannot wait for that! I don't particularly love working on the farm but the people I work and love with are awesome so that make up for it. Mostly all we do at the farm is water, plant and weed. I don't mind watering but weeding is so hard on the back. Although the farm is pretty big so it takes a full five hours to water everything which is usually the length of a workday so time goes by petty fast. The other day we decided to name the chickens that live on the farm, names are rodger, Lucile, Phyllis, Gladis, snookie, Howard, and fancy feet. And yes we actually can tell them all apart. Most of the chicken look pretty different so it's not hard. This is what happens when were killing time while we wait for lunch we name the chickens!
We had our first two days of this weekend, we finally got to check out the town were living in. Usually everyday were don't at the farm we go eat, use the Internet in the hotel, and then go to bed. We've been to tired to explore,but Saturday we went out and walked around and seen the harbour, which is pretty and then that night as a group we went out for dinner, to try some authentic Turkish food...which is so good! Sunday we went on a group excursion to a huge castle way up in the mountains. Working on the farm we can see part of the castle and it looks really neat but you can only get to it by car because the mountian is a huge military base so they allow cars t drive through but you cannot hike up. So Raychel our boss had her driver take us up to explore, it was amazing! We spent two hours up there and it is so much bigger then it looks from afar, even when you get to the top of the mountian you can't see it all because its built into the mountain. Alot of it was actually still there which was cool to see. After this the driver took us to a look off that looks over Nicosia which is all flat land, it's very strange to see because here we are standing on a mountain and everything in front of us it flat land. Sunday night we went out as a group to the onyx which is a resturant which is part of the hotel, Raychel took us we had dinner, dessert and wine and she paided for it all. It was absolutely amazing and to top the night off she has her driver take us back to the apartment! Man were getting spoiled on this trip, not only do our apartments we stay in have maids, but now we get free excursions, Free food, and a driver to take us around... Who wants to go back to real life...not me!
