The last day is an ostrich day

(Francesco) Here we are ... the last post from South Africa. We just had a nice meal at a place called JJ's on the waterfront of Knysna. Drank a nice bottle of Pinotage, really nice (and only 14 euros). I am writing while Elke is finishing of her packing. Today was relaxing, we basically drove to Oudtshoorn to visit a farm of Ostriches ... something Elke was curious to do. I have to say these animals look very stupid!!

They have big eyes and little heads and they have a weirdly flexible neck. We could see a bit how they are grown and feed them. Some people got lucky and sat on one of them. Elke was one of these lucky people ... after some convincing! As you can see ion the photos ... she looked nervous, but I guess she will write what se felt than. Well, as I said our trip is over. Tomorrow we will drive to George, drop our rental car and fly back home. So, starting from thursday ... back to the normal life and the blog goes back to food posts. I have still one post on south african wine I will add and lot of recipes we prepared before the trip, which have been waiting too long!!
(Elke) I have not much to add to Francesco's words. This is indeed our last post from South Africa. We should be back home from Thursday noon. It has been a very beautiful and diversified trip. We feel really happy about it, but we also feel we need to go back to normal life gradually. By the way, being on the ostrich was quite nice and the feathers of the animal were really soft and warm....
