The Äpple Festival..

So, upon hearing from his colleagues that there is an apple festival in Kivik, a village in Scania, we set off in the morning on Saturday and went forth in search of APPLES.. Armed with a map printed from google, a bottle of water, titbits, sweets, it really felt adventurous to me and seemed like it was going to be a long and fun trip.. =)

After approximately 1 hour, we finally reached the town. But well, who said there are no traffic jams here? Haha. Check out the long stretch of cars. It sure was crowded today!!

Green and red, big and small, sweet and not-so-sweet, all kinds of apples were here!! Guess why the apples were arranged like that?

Well, there were not 1000, not 10,000, but 35,000 of them!! =)

All put together to form this gigantic piece of art! Fwah. Well, apple is always referred to as the forbidden fruit, right? =p

Jw said he loves this type of dog. So well, I took a pic of it to remember. Hehe. Big white and browish dog with nice fur. =)

I like to watch the dogs playing in the sea. Dunno why. Just feels peaceful and nice. =) I bet the dogs love summer too. (eh, not me, but the season)

Hoho. There's actually a drink called Da Vinci here. Hmmm. I really wonder what is it. Was it becos' they used apple as one of the code breakers in Da Vinci Code? Hmmm.

Having our lunch in Kivik. Yummy roasted pork with apple cidar.

I had chicken instead. Hee. But ended up the pork was nicer ley. Haha. Aiyohh. The apple cidar was nice though. =)

Apples in an apple. We came into this room whereby they had alot of apple drawings on display. Probably these were pictures of the art pieces from past years.

The tang-san-zang wanna be. Haha. This was funny. =) Doesn't he mind that people were laffing at us? haha. I guess he doesn't. Which is partly why I like him. Wahaha. =p

All real apples! Fwah. Really can't imagine how many apples were used up in this festival. Uncountable.

Wooo. We bought these to apples to munch on. Becos I saw some people eating the choc one and was determined to try. Jw bought the sugar coated one, which was a bad choice, because the sugar was simply too hard and sticky for us to bite into. Waha. Ended up he ate some of my choc apple. Well well. I ate his pork during lunch juz now too. So, ermmm, we complement each other? hmmm.

Yummy-licious!

Neh. These ain't real apples. They are magnets, which jw brought 3 to add to his collection of magnets on the fridge. Keke.

All in all, it was a short but fun time that we spent in Kivik. And quite an eye opener becos' I've never heard of an apple festival, much less see soooooo many apples gathered together. Keke.

Bye Bye Äpplemarknaden.. Till we meet again!!
