Back to Oz

So here we are again, been here for a month and a bit. Its like we never left, so just picked up from where we left. This time we are joined by Sam, but everthing else is the same. We spent a week at Soulhaven again , but we started at Fini Olives on the night shift and got offered accommodation on the farm. How can you say no to that !

So life is olives olives olives again, but on a lovely grove.

We hope to be here for a good 2 to 3 months and save money etc, buy a 4x4 so that we can get really lost , when we leave the grove,

We are working on the Dotan shaker primarily, which is two contraptions being towed by two tractors and a manatou ( teleporter) collecting the olives at the end. Ben is driving the shaker , and Lou is driving the catcher. Sam was driving the manatou. However all is changed and Ben has learned to drive the colossus ( the big old one we were on last year ) so we can stand in with that now. Sam is now working in the processing plant making the oil in the end. So in the end we will be oil experts !!
We were lucky enough to come on the new A 380, and the weather and sea was still warmer enough to go without wetsuits when we got in the sea!






Sam got to meet Sue and Fez! And our be-a-u tiful new car mitzy Magna
