24/2 Ostrich riding

This day started very funny. In the middle of the breakfast my brother Adam's chair broke in to three pieces while he was sitting on it. It looked very funny and everybody laught. We left Knysna and head off against our next stop that would be Oudtshoorn. Before we took in at our next hotel we went to the Kangoo caves. It was huge caves that went five kilometers in to the mountain. There were a lot of stalagmites and stalagtites. A big part of the cave was closed because of destruction.

 

After the caves we went to an ostrich farm. We learned a lot about ostriches, for example that the males are black and white and the females are brown. We patted the chickens, fed the ostriches and we were even allowed to ride them. They ran fast and it was very fun. An ostrich can run up to 70 km/h. In the end we stood on ostrich eggs. One ostrich egg has the same size as 24 normal eggs.

 

We checked in at Fosters Manor, a big old house where Mr and Mrs Foster had their own ostrich farm long time ago. The rooms were huge and I got a double bed for my own ;-). In the evening we went out for dinner as usual. Today's starter was crocodile and mussels. It was the first time I ate crocodile. It tasted like chicken. For main course I had ostrich fillet with red wine sauce. It was really good. After dinner I were totally full and it really wasn't hard to fall a sleep.
