On our way to Oudtshoorn ....Ostrich Capital of the World ... we first explored the different chambers of
the Cango Cave System. They used to hold gospel concerts in this cave, which must have been a phenomenal accoustic. Not any more, as too much damage happened.
So, I got everyone hyped up about the Ostrich ride and we have already decided who is going to ride one.
You have to weigh under 80 kg. So definitely Stan, we decided. However, because it was 46 degrees Celsius inn Oudtshoorn (semi desert), it was not possible to ride one - simply too hot because ostriches are not able to sweat. So we weren't allowed.
However, we had a tour around the farm and this was pretty interesting...
Check our pics out below ;0)
Today we are heading to Capetown, our last highlight of this trip,where we will spend 4 nights.
Let's cross our fingers for good weather, as we want to be able to go on the Table Mountain, which is only
possible when the weather is good and no clouds over the mountain.... Yippeeh, Capetown - we are ready!!!

Yes ... the Featherbed Hotel looks like it has a fantastic view, if the photos of the lagoon are any indication of what you see from there!!! I like the photo of the cave opening looking out toward the water ... very artistic! I also like the "Ice Cole Draught" sign ... is that on your way back UP the trail? Kit and Danny ... thanks for letting me know about this blog! Its lots of fun ... though not as much fun as I know YOU are having!

WOW ... I would have loved to have been there to hear a gospel choir in these caves ... the sound must have been incredible. Imagine how Bach or Monteverdi would have sounded!!! Kit and Danny ... I’ll bet you are having just the BEST time! All the ostriches look like they are on some kind of ranch ... are there ostriches in the wild there too? That’s quite a photo of Tina standing on the eggs ... do you need a sledge hammer to make omelets?
