Mrs Jones fruit Orchard

Enroute to Queenstown will not be complete without stopping at Mrs Jones' Fruit Stall. Apparently all tourist coaches will take a stop at this place as one of their itineraries. It is situated in Central Otago along the highway from Cromwell to Queenstown. 

We made a stop.

It's almost late in the evening.

All kinds of fruits and nuts were sold.

Sampling

fresh fruits

Bought this Hokey Pokey.

By the way, our tour agency presented everyone of us with 
a packet of a few variety of fruits for our consumption in the bus.

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
