we have this whole road to do yeah oh i'm sure we have way more than one row to do
a bad choice you know they cut up for the farm life oh man that hurts okay good things in the day
good good good
future nicole here coming to you very briefly to explain what is happening in this vlog uh this is
going to be a pretty raw vlog because we didn't expect to film today we are here in a town called
fatsia in turkey we came here actually to get some work done we didn't plan on filming anything while
we were here um but our hosts who live across the street from the apartment that we're renting from
them have just been fantastic and have really taken us under their wing and sort of shown us
some of the local side of turkish village life and today was no exception they invited us to
breakfast and then uh asked us if we wanted to go and pick olives and we are in the habit of saying
yes to requests such as that or offers like that so naturally we didn't have the right clothing so
they dressed us which was fantastic thankfully everything fit us pretty well
and um we headed out to pick olives for the day
so we have just gotten back from that um but you are about to see what that day entailed enjoy
five kilos of olives yields one jar rice and one kilo of olive oil
it's a lot of olives got a big job we have this whole road to do
i'm sure we have way more than one row to do there's also all those rows to do
so what he's doing now is he's batting the olive tree to knock down the olives and they
when they fall on the floor that means they're ready to be picked and they're they're right
and then the rest of the team that you can see behind him there are following
him closely and are combing the ground to pick up the olives it's a very efficient
process and i think we're going pretty quickly but that's because we have a lot of people here
um although i'm not doing very much but you know someone's got to hold the camera
i mean i've been doing my own picking too so come on i have a half a bucket
gotta learn the double hand technique never get it my hands aren't big enough to hold very many
i almost wish i didn't work out yesterday my legs are so sore probably workout it's not
something we expected no i did not expect to be kneeling in the ground picking oh oh you're good
getting pretty full it's getting really cool those guys are moving way faster i know i gotta catch up
this is something that you probably get faster at the more you do right i hope so it's the two hands
that's the thing i gotta learn how to do the two hands not too bad it keeps getting emptied
it's a lot of work to shake those trees like a lot of work to show you these trees
these olive trees are 10 years old that we're working from that's some of the olive trees in
fetzia are 100 or 200 years old these guys were just telling us which is wild
and they yield a ton of olives
we're
no it's not a race i'm getting better though they all both
i think the hardest part for me right now is after you're sitting around for
a long time picking them and then when you get up and you get a sudden rush to the head and get all
really dizzy you feel that too right yeah then the continuous squatting is
is a bit challenging but we're making headway thank you those are some really crisp apps
yeah oh man i need more apple breaks
i think i found a praying mantis
what a beautiful bug wow yeah look at that face hi buddy
he's cool looking
taking a bit of a break now i think we're gonna have some lunch
best cucumbers
a couple different kinds of cheese
homemade made of the grapes made probably earlier this week
so good that's so delicious
so we just finished our picnic on the road food here's so great it's always just like lots of
variety usually centered around cheese bread and olives uh oh and vegetables it was perfect
a great great little break because we got another row of trees or two rows of trees we've done four
we have two left so here we go
you look you're doing great
what happened
and i'm old you're rolling yeah oh just hit a little oh
one quick job oh man it hurts okay get these in today
good good good
we did 130 kilograms i'm impressed with us wow and then plus those ones there too oh
and he's got some there so what did that take us six hours six hours seven people
impressive around 70 kilograms also 200 kilos not nearly yeah
we have had an awesome day it was so good they stuffed us we are absolutely full
after a long day of hard work it was great to have some barbecue dinner that was so
good my favorite was the company mikko's here for the chicken good night good night
