Oudtshoorn

The land of caves and Ostriches! Did you know that you can stand on an Ostrich egg without it breaking? Or that male ostriches also lay eggs? (the guide was so convincing, we even believed her for several minutes..). In one ostrich egg there are 24 eggs from a hen… time for omelet! Beautiful animals they are and not as ferocious as they say, I had four of them eating in a bucket in front of me and didn’t’ get a scratch. Another nice thing to see near Oudtshoorn are the Cango caves. We do the “adventure” tour where we crawl up a narrow chimney and slide through a “letter box”. The caves are beautiful and that is good because the weather outside could not be worse. The rain is pouring down and the clouds cover everything in grey.
