Kleinplaas Resort Oudtshoorn

... rejste derudaf ville jeg vaere Malawi paa det tidspunkt som vi nu naar Windhoek paa, men der er nogle fastsatte datoer. <br>Det goer saa at jeg lige nu ikke nyder den her tur, men jeg haaber paa at det sker et eller andet der kan faa en smule eventyr ind i det igen. Lige nu er en chartertur til Rhodos (eller maaske Malta) mere oplevelsesrig.<br>Saa til min gamle mor: stop med at sende positive energier herned og forsoeg at sende nogle der skaber lidt spaending.

... clear and refreshing and the pool at the<br>botom was perfectly blue. It looked like a good place to swim. Eden<br>and me took off our shoes and went for a paddle, but it was absolutly<br>freezing and made our feet numb. We meet some people from Arizona and one of them was going to jump in the pool. I thought he must be mad and didn't believe he would do it, but he stood on the rock above and jumped right in! He didn't stay in for long though and was quickly out and drying off. On the ...

... thinks the tea tastes like sticks, but I think it tastes like sticks and honey.<br><br>The tour begins and we are the only ones on it. Our guide starts out by telling us the history of the ostrich farms and the money that was made selling the feathers around the world. Then we move to the incubator room to see how they look after and hatch the eggs. In the wild a female ostrich only lays about 30 eggs a year, but on a farm they will lay 120 or more. When the eggs are ...

Yesterday I met up with my parents in Cape Town, rented a car and drove out to Oudtshoorn which is about a 5 hour drive east. I hadn't driven a car in quite sometime and it was really quite the experience since I had to drive on the left side of the road. Driving on the left took a while to get use to and so far I haven't gotten into an accident. Yesterday afternoon I went to an ostrich farm where I had the distinct pleasure of getting to ride an ostrich. The ...

... al meer dan 2.750 km samen met ons opzitten (en ziet er dus niet meer uit van al het stof en rommel en kruimels die hij al te verduren heeft gehad). <br><br>Het einde van onze doorgaanse dag is als volgt : de kinderen en onszelf van eten voorzien, al dan niet in onze eigen accomodatie en daarna in bed (soms nog eerst in bad, als de accomodatie niet te koud is). Daarna foto's opladen op computer bij een glaasje wijn (hebben ...

... kiss is much more painful than a giraffe kiss, and the hug is a bit impersonal. But it was all fun. Of course, ostrichs are not only unique because they are the largest birds on earth, or because they're flightless (if you get a good look at the wings you can see exactly why this is so - they're little strings) - they are the only birds to have two toes. This is one reason for their being known as camel birds. The big toe is for carrying weight ...

... cheetah. The cheetah can accelerate from 0-40 mph in three stridesand to a full speed of 70 mph in seconds. As the cheetah runs only one foot at a time touches the ground. There are two points in its 20-25 foot stride, (can you imagine a stride of that distance? The flexibility of the spine and the articulation of the joints are such that the cheetah's body can lengthen and the limbs can bend to fantastic angles making that kind of distance possible) where no feet touch ...

... br><br>Chris has gone home now, but tomorrow the two other guys I met in Mozambique and traveled with will be arriving. It's crazy as I keep on bumping into people that I have met along the way. Tonight was insane - it's St Patrick's Day and Ireland won the cricket (I actually watched the end of the match and secretly enjoyed it)! Cape Town is going crazy, but I have come back to the hostel now. Trouble is there is ...
