イチゴ狩り

10月23日（金）快晴

10月のテーブルランドはイチゴの最盛期。4ヶ月間雨が降らなかったので、今年のイチゴは小粒で甘みも乏しいようです。観光イチゴ園には入場料はなく、園内は食べ放題。持ち帰りは1ｋｇ750円。蛇はいませんが紫外線に注意。日焼け止めクリームと帽子とサングラスは必携。売店ではイチゴのアイスクリームやスムージーも売っています。テーブルランドのマンゴの収穫まではあと1ヶ月。道路脇の無人販売所にはジャガイモやアボガドが並んでいますが我が家では滅多に食べません。

Strawberry picking
Fri. October 23 : fine

Table Land in October is having the high season of strawberries. As it has not been raining for the past 4 months, the strawberries this year are rather small and lack of sweetness. There is no entrance fee for the tourists at the strawberry farms and you can eat as much of you want free of charge in the farms. Taking away strawberries costs $10 per 1kg. There are no snakes but you should be careful not to have sunburn. You should bring some sun screen, a hat and sunglasses. You can buy strawberry ice-cream and smoothies at the shop. There is one more month before the harvesting season of mangos. Potatoes and avocados are being displayed at the unmanned sales stores beside the roads but we rarely eat them.
