We were pleased to welcome Kayomi and her son Shunsake to Struan Farm for a brief visit this past weekend. Shunsake is going to study English in Auckland for the next month, Kayomi was here to help him get settled in and then will head back home to Nagoya.
After finding out about Struan Farm via our blog, and having a friend who had studied at Piopio College, Kayomi contacted me and decided to travel to Piopio to spend the weekend at Struan Farm to see the countryside. They were able to avoid renting a car to get here, took the InterCity Bus, which picks up and drops off at our local petrol station.
They told us that they enjoyed seeing the sheep, riding down to the river with John on the tractor to see the rolling hills dotted with limestone rocks, and meeting Clifford our silly dog (they actually called him cute, but we won't tell Clifford that or it will go to his head!). They also said they will come back to see us again, we hope so!
It was a good test for me to see that it's relatively easy for international visitors to get to Struan Farm.
