In an attempt to do more touristy things in a town notorious for touristy things, and because so man of the local ostriches have been sacrificed due to the avian flu, we visited the Cango Ostrich Farm yesterday. I learnt a couple things at the farm...
1. Ostriches are weird. They can rotate their necks a full 360 degrees! Their legs are reptilian and they come across terribly prehistoric. Amazing really.
2. Ostrich chicks are cute! But be careful, they might pee on you.
3. Ostriches are not to be confused with their relative the emu. Also their brains are smaller than one of their eye balls. Just enough to keep the lights on.
A must see for any Garden Route visitor! The tour cost R70 and your guide can speak German. So tell your German friends :)
