Fruit World Rocks!!!!

Here is a picture of us at the front of the park with the giant avacado! Did you know avacado's grow on trees and are hand picked!?!

Here is a picture of Kyle at the back of our tractor that took us through the farm! It is true, it really is the Home of the World's Largest variety of Tropical Fruit!

Here is a picture of me trying to feed the Emu. It didn't hurt it just scared me so when he pecked to eat some i jumped and threw the food up in the air!

First things first. Luke you rock. Thanks for the amazing advice on going to fruit world. We loved it so much that Kyle applied for a job there. Haha just kidding! Well the last few days have been really hot and sunny. We stayed in Byron Bay for 3 days and while we were there we went and had Surfing lessons with a company called Kool Kats!! Haha It was great! They took us out to a neighbouring town called Ballina. It was raining that day but the water was still warm and the waves were perfect! Kyle and I got up with the first try, it was not as hard as we thought it was going to be. Kyle got the hang out it right away and he actually started to learn how to do a spin on his board while riding it. As for me I found it easy to get up but the longer the board the harder it is to control but to learn it is best to use a long board so i would find myself starting to turn sideways and I would just have to jump off. By the end of it I learned how to turn my board and i was able to go straight haha! It was awesome!

As for Fruit World!! We went to fruit world yesterday and it was a very hot day! Before we got there we went swimming at Byron Bay for 2 hours and it is true what they say about the Australian sun.....you CAN get sunburned within 5 minutes haha! But we got to fruit world around 1:30pm which was great because the last tour of the day started at 2:00pm. They took us on this tractor all through the farm. They had so many crazy gradens, Aztec Gardens, Indian Garden, Chocolate Garden, Asian Garden, Berry Garden, Olive Garden......there were so many! They have the most variety of fruit in the world!! You pretty much see new fruit you never even knew existed. We got to stop along the way, such as we got to stop at the Macadamia Nut tree and pick a couple nuts and crack them open; they were soooooo good! We went further along and we got to go on a mini train ride. And what i mean by mini is the train track in like 1 foot wide. You stradle the seat and ride around part of the part haha! Then we went on a boat ride through the river to another part of the park where we got to feed Kangaroo's and Emu's. The Emu kinda scared me when they pecked at my hand haha! They didn't hurt me it just made me jump! Feeding the Kangaroo's was so fun, it feels funny when they eat because they are so gentle and they pretty much just lick the food off your hand! When we were done the whole tour we got to go for a praivate food tasting! It was really neat because we found ourselves liking some fruit that we don't usually like at all, such as grapefruit and mangos. But they day was awesome! Here are a few pictures we hope you enjoy!!
