Blenheim Travel Guide: 31 reviews and 71 photos
While staying in Blenheim for a few days, I had the opportunity to work in an apple orchard for 5 days ! Work starts as early as 7:30am till 3:45pm with a 15 minutes tea break and half hour lunch break. The hostel which I stayed in had other travellers and they too are working in orchards / vineyards. Quite a few Japanese and travellers from England. Met some friendly travellers here and till today, some are still keeping in touch !
Apple orchards are huge and it's got rows and rows of apple trees ! At least 20+ trees per row...so imagine we have to move the steel ladders from tree to tree but all was good fun...at least I have tried it !
