Kiwi!



By Eric
It feels like our hundredth camp site!

On our way here (this camp site) there was a store and it was ALL about kiwis (the fruit). It sold kiwi jam, kiwi wine and more. So you know how Brighton has the GIANT apple? Well here in Te Puke there's the giant kiwi.

I learned that in 1904 a teacher planted
Chinese Gooseberry seeds here and they grew reeeeeeeeeeally well. So the name has been changed to kiwi. I also learned that there are two kinds of kiwi: the green kiwi and the golden kiwi, which is yellow! I like kiwis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
