Check out these pumpkins!
They were amazing.

Today Alistair, Tamzin and I decided that since Kyle was away we should be too, so this morning (Saturday) we headed out on a 'road trip'.
We are doing a circle - through Hope, Princeton, Oliver, Penticton, and after 550km came to rest in Kelowna for the the night. Tomorrow (after a spot of shopping) we will head back to F/V through Merrit. ( In case any of you want to look on a map).

Somewhere along the line we came across this fruit stand with this fantastic display of pumpkins. I have never seen so many different shapes, colours and sizes of pumpkins.
It is coming up to Thanksgiving here so hence all the pumpkins.
Tamzin is dying to get a big pumpkin and carve one and put a candle in it - hopefully we will come across some more tomorrow and get a few.




This was another fruit stand and they had lots of old machinery with pumpkins all round them. It was so nice to see these 'bursts' of orange around the place.
I am not sure why we don't grow pumpkins like these in NZ.


We saw heaps of old cars and trucks in our travels today. We had to stop and take a picture of these ones, there was a whole line of them. Such a shame to see them all rotting away - Alistair would love to have one of these trucks - done up of course.





We came across this lake - it is called 'Spotted Lake'. Not sure why it is spotted, seems to have a film on top with these 'holes' in it. It looked neat.


Unfortunatly it rained the whole day today - seems to be a trend with us (it rained while we were in Whistler as well). But even so we had a great day exploring.
