12 days old, these modern descendants of dinosaurs are raised like cattle on big ranches, same as beef or lamb. Ostrich leather, ostrich meat - very yummy, dark color like beef and No - they do NOT taste like chicken.
Tell me this isn't Jurassic park material
We were also on the way to Cango Caves, a standard stalagmite/stalactite cave. We were entertained by our guide explained what happened to an adventure tour when a customer - sincerely and severely warned about the rigors of the 90 minutes slithering, sliding, squeezing through various tiny crevices - got stuck. And she caused the earlier group an 11 hour ordeal waiting for her to unstop the cork.
Then, as Becky and I trudged back to the entrance with our guide heard him mutter something about a marathon running through the cave. "Say what?" Yes, a running race that started just outside the cave and although it was only 8 km who in their right mind would run through, at best, a partially lit cave with 450 steps each way? How many stretchers so you have on hand?
And to return to the title of this episode. When we had all gathered in the cave entrance our 2 guides asked who would like to have an English-speaking guide and who would like an Afrikaans-speaking guide. Toto, we're way not in Kansas anymore. It was half and half. Once over the coast range we don't leave English behind but it's really a strong Afrikaans-speaking region. Almost all signage is in Afrikaans and the English spoken has a pretty thick Afrikaans accent.
