... do, like feed them from your hand and put a pellet in your mouth and have the ostrich pick it from you ("a kiss"). These suckers are sure fast and accurate (like a snake). We also have an ostrich massage. This is when you hold a bucket of pellets and 5 ostriches lunge over your shoulder and peck away at the feed you are holding in front of you. Talk about putting your head on my shoulder. It is raining today and the ostriches are wet and the ...

... back to the car we chatted with him<br>and his wife, their names were Gary and Nancy Howell, I said I would<br>send them a video of the jump when we got home.<br><br><br><br>We drove back to Karoo Soul before it got dark so that Eden could have a swim in the pool. When she got in, however, she decided it was too cold and only put her feet in. It wasn't as cold as the waterfall<br>though, probably about the same as the sea at home. Instead, we<br>relaxed on the hammocks while the sun went down.<br>

... egg, bacon and mozzarella and Marianne's is chicken mayo, Eden has ham, cheese and tomato toasties, but that is too much for her also. After dinner we play on the beach for a bit. When we go back to the car some hobo is hanging around and asks me for money because he hasn't scratched the car. I tell him no, because that's what Louise from the wine tour told us to do, and he looks disappointed and walks away.<br><br>We drive a little way up the ...

... was more comical than anything else and I think the "riding" part was more a contest of how long I could actually stay on the ostrich before falling off (which ended up being about 45 seconds). I spent the night at a really nice guest/ farmhouse sort of place and then this morning went to the Cango Caves. The caves were really something. Although not the biggest I've been to, I think the formations here were more spectacular than those I've seen anywhere else.

the cango caves are the biggest caves in africa, we went on a tour with a group of four, the adventure tour so we were climbing through holes that a large willy wouldnt fit in! one story the guide told us was a rather large woman got stuck in one of the holes for 11 hours! the other 22 ...

... breakfast and then hopping into the luxuary bus were Elton drove us to the Cango Caves, 20km from the Lodge. He had decided that it would be a good idea for us to go on the Adventure Tour - a 1 1/2 hour tour of the caves that led 1.2km into the Swartburg Mountainside. The selling points of this tour were the nature of the tunnels which had to be climbed - including The Letterbox which was 28cm high at its largest point! Needless to say we were both very sceptical about goin on ...

... using paths and stairs. Halfway through the guide told us the easy part is over and it will start to get more difficult. Difficult was an understatement! I was crawling though slivers in the rocks barely wide enough for me to fit through! On part I had to climb up a shaft called "the Chimney" for about 20 feet. There was a point where I thought I was stuck. My damn shoulders are too wide! The ...

... the dark! I enjoyed the day, but there was some pretty small holes and gaps to squeeze through and I'm not quite sure how some people in my group managed to get through as I was struggling sometimes.<br><br>After my brief stay in Oudtshoorn I headed to Cape Town. I met back up with my mate Chris so it was good to see him again. So far I have been to the Cape of Good Hope and the Peninsula (I even did a bit of biking ...

... bird that is used to people. This is the bird the guide used to educate us about the Ostrich. He lifted up her wings to show us they have a two fingers with claws at the end of their wings. I petted the neck, it was really soft. The feet are huge. They will not bite you, but they could seriously injure or kill you by kicking. Their huge claw like toe can rip right into you. We got to stand on some Ostrich ...
