Cherry, anyone??

During our holiday to the Snowy Mountains, we went to Batlow to do some cherry picking. Batlow is a little town about 443km south west of Sydney.It's surrounded by orchards and is very famous as one of Australia's main producers of apples, pears, cherries, berries and stone fruits.



My boys and I really enjoyed picking the cherries. Everyone of us had a bucket and tried to fill it with the cherries right up to the top. The taste of it is so beautiful, really sweet and juicy, and that make almost impossible for us not to put some in to our mouth. Mmmm, so delicious......

After one and a half hour, we went back to the hut with three instead of four buckets full of cherries, because Jamie decided not to collect but eat them instead. Smart boy.....







At the end, we paid around $22 for a bit over four kilos. Not bad considering you have to pay $12/kilo in Sydney. We thought that the whole four kilos of them would last for sometime, but we were so wrong. They've gone in few days with only four of us eating them. Its just too hard to resist ... so nice.

Just before we came back to Sydney, we did another picking, and we picked about the same amount. And the same thing happened again, didn't last as long as I liked to. Never mind, there is always next season to do it again.
