April 8 - Cango Caves

We arrived in Mossel Bay on the night of April 7th. On April 8th we went to an Ostrich Farm in the early morning and got to know a little bit about the farm and different products that are made from Ostrich. I actually got to sit on an Ostrich, it was very weird but fun. A couple of the people in the group got to race them around the area for a few seconds, which was absolutely hilarious. After the Ostrich Farm we went to the famous Cango Caves. One of my fears is not being able to see the sky, so caving was difficult for me, but I decided to join a few people in the Adventure Caving circuit where we had to contort our bodies into weird positions and crawl through spaces that were smaller than my body....it was stressful!! After caving we went to a local Afrikaans festival called "KKNK". Jeff and I ventured off on our own and found some great local music and some musicians who played a bunch of American music. The festival was a lot of fun and if I ever come back to South Africa I will definitely have to go to the festival again!
