How long does an Ostrich live and can you have a Concert in a Cave?

Day 3 began with another early start and a bus ride through more breath taking scenery to the Cango caves.
This massive cave complex took 2hrs to explore and was extremely narrow in places. The boys took this with ease and left Mr. Manley and Mr. Walsh to ponder the best way to negotiate broader shoulders and tiny gaps! 
The boys also learnt the difference between stalactites and stalcmites and heard the history of the complex. The main cavern room was used to hold concerts up until the 1994 and held 2,000 people! 

After that we travelled to an Ostrich farm and had a hearty lunch of Ostrich steak, salad and chips. Following that the boys met a few Ostriches, fed them, sat on them and 4 of the boys where lucky enough to have a quick ostrich race! The weather was lovely today and helped to put a nice bonus on the day, don't worry sun tan was applied! 

Tomorrow we travel to Knysna to meet the Elephants and a Tree Top Canopy tour at Titsikamma.

Oh and an Ostrich lives for 50-70 year or in the case of the ones that end up on our plates no more than 14 months.
