We left early this morning for our weekend trip to Cape Town.
Believe it or not, I rode an ostrich today... just imagine that for a second. It was a lot of fun but kind of scary. You're supposed to grab onto its wings and lean back but, of course, I didn't follow directions exactly and ended up rolling off the front of ostrich. Good times.
We also visited the Cango Caves en route to Cape Town. They were beautiful and definitely worth our time.
Right now I'm in our backpacker's lodge about to hit the sack. It's about an 8 hour drive from PE to Cape Town so we're all pretty tired.
Tomorrow morning we're are going to tour Robben Island, the prison where Nelson Mandela was held for a little over 25 years before being released in 1990. We've been studying all about the apartheid era and have focused on the resistance movement throughout the 90s so it will be interesting to learn more about Mandela's time on the island.
Until later...
