We just had spring break this past week and a fellow Ambassadorial Scholar and I went out to Oudtshoorn. Oudtshoorn is known as the ostrich capital of the world. While there, we also checked out the Cango Caves.
We were blown away by the Pass - literally. The winds were so fierce that we couldn't even stand upright to pose.
Another memorable part of our trip was travelling to Knysna, which is famous for it's amazing forests and lagoon.

Concerts were originally held in the larger chambers of the cave (above), but because people would take away pieces of the cave as souvenirs, it was decided to stop having such concerts.

Angie and me with our wonderful tour guide
Because Oudtshoorn is known as the Ostrich Capital, Angie and I took a tour of one of the ostrich farms. Though it looks like I am getting a hug from the ostrich, it's actually reaching around me for some ostrich treats. What a weird feeling!
These things looked vicious - I kept thinking I was in Jurassic Park
We also drove through Swartberg Pass. It was one of the most amazing things that I have done. The views were breathtaking and the photos just don't capture it's beauty.

All in all, it was a great way to spend spring break!
