First day working in Ayr: picking pumpkins

Today we woke up at 7 o’clock and wondered, that the host hadn’t us woken. :/ Then I went to have a shower and had a chat to the girl from the reception, who told me, that we have to be ready at 9 o’clock for pumpkin-picking. 🙂 So we were ready at 9 o’clock but didn’t start before 12. :)We left our car in front of the hostel and drove to the farm together with 3 other guys. First of all we had to pick pumpkins in the field ( very annoying movement). I was totally covered in sweat  (because of the heat 34°C) and the suncream stung in my eyes :P. See the pictures :).

After that we went to the sheds to pack the pumpkins into boxes.

After 5 hours work the host said, that we should finish for today, and we drove back to our car.

I went jogging and prepared dinner (rice with meat and tomato sauce). Then I talked to the host and he said, that every day he will give me a new job on a different farm. Monday I will start to work on a mangofarm separated from Jan. 🙂 But that’s okay, because both of us need some time for ourselves 🙂 Today I earned 20 AUD per hour, so I will be able to save a lot of money for the rest of my trip around the world. 🙂
