After filling my stomach, packing my luggage, I began to visit leisurely. Walking from the stairs next to the cabin to the lawn, the so-called river in front of me was the so-called small river; turning around and looking up, you can see the small cabin like a stilt house.

Returning from the original road, there is a spacious and beautiful "chicken coop" next to the wooden plank road leading to the restaurant. It is cleaned very clean and there is no odor when walking on the side. Passing by the "chicken coop" is the restaurant, bar and lounge. The restaurant is divided into indoor and outdoor. The restaurant is unattended, and drinks and food are prepared on the table.

When checking in yesterday, Yunluo forgot that the rooms of Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo did not include breakfast. The boss enthusiastically said that if Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo wanted to have breakfast, they could enjoy drinks, coffee and food here. Just put the keys on the refrigerator when leaving, and they are another lovely European.

Although the owner is not careful, the hotel is full of meticulousness, from napkin racks on the dining table to wine bottles in the room, and even message pens and keychains decorated with ostrich feathers, everyone is so cute.

Back at the door of the room, Xiao Zhou's car had just driven into the yard. Annie, who lived in the wooden house next door, asked Yun Luo to eat the freshly fried ostrich eggs. While Xiao Zhou and Nalan Seqi were busy moving their luggage, they ran to the stove in the next room.

I saw a large plate of golden scrambled eggs. It is said that one ostrich egg can be eaten by two people for one week. Yun Luo stuffed two mouthfuls into his mouth, which was super tender! He entered the car with a mouthful of ostrich egg diamond in his mouth and set out towards the "Ostrich Park" (Listen, why are you so guilty?!).

The ostrich egg is currently the largest egg in the world. Of course, the ostrich is the largest bird, but the ostrich park in Oudtshoo is not as big as Yunluo imagined. You can buy tickets at the entrance, r70 per person. There is also a special tour guide, so you don’t want it. There is also a Chinese tour group that goes in at the same time as Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo.

There is only one visiting trail, so I slowed down, stayed for 5 minutes, and took a few more photos to keep a distance from the tour group.

Last year, I was completely conquered by a giraffe in Kenya, but this time I was fascinated by the ostrich, "long eyelashes, big eyes, high posture", and I was "cute" from time to time. I looked like this and sometimes noble and sometimes stupid. Without a protective rail, it is best not to get too close. Even if I am kicked, I have to lie in the hospital for a while even if I don't die.

There is an area specially designed for tourists to ride ostrichs in the ostrich. Two staff members first blindfold the ostrich's eyes and fix it in the fence. After the tourists ride steadily, they open the fence door and lift the cloth on the ostrich's head. When the ostrich runs out, the staff follow the two sides to prevent tourists from falling down.

Riding an ostrich is not as steady as riding a horse. Looking at this posture, I couldn't help feeling pity. Since I visited the animal reserve, I couldn't watch programs that forced animals to please humans. Although I had wanted to try it before coming. But when the staff asked Yunluo if he wanted to try it, Yunluo refused.

After walking around, I came to the shopping area. The Chinese tour group was gone. There were only a few people in the shopping area. The goods were very rich. However, there was already one craft made of ostrich eggs at home. I bought the ostrich feathers and had no place to put them in. The ostrich toys were very cute, but the price was not cheap and the size was a little larger.

Moreover, there are more than 50 fluffy toys at home. If you buy them, your friends will throw them all out. Maybe they will be with her daughter. In the end, they only chose a few postcards to comfort themselves.

Until I got on the bus, I still complained that the ostrich garden was too small, but when the car drove onto the road, I found a large group of ostrichs next to me. The small ones were only part for guests to visit, but in fact they were large.

There are much more wild ostrichs, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Sudan than South Africa, but when it comes to the history of raising ostrichs and the ability to make money with ostrichs, South Africans are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are in charge of raising ostrich feathers. South Africans started raising ostrichs in 1826. At first, there were very few ostrichs. Later, because Western royal nobles tend to wear clothing made of ostrich feathers.

The ostrich was worth a hundred times at one time. An adult ostrich could only produce 1 kilogram of feathers a year, and the simplest ostrich shawl also cost at least 15 kilograms of feathers. South African farmers raised ostrich one after another. By 1913, the number of ostrich stocks exceeded 1 million. However, after the World War, the European royal family gradually declined.

The demand for ostrich feathers has dropped significantly, and ostrich businesses have changed careers one after another. Some smart farmers left behind the best varieties of ostrich, waiting for the arrival of new opportunities. After World War II, the ostrich market began to pick up. South Africans learned their lessons and began to operate ostrich business in many aspects. They made ostrich eggshell crafts.

The ostrich farms were also opened to attract tourists to visit. Many ostrich farmers also joined forces to form an agricultural consortium to uniformly be responsible for the marketing of ostrich products. Oudtshoo was also named "Ostrich Capital".

African diet columnist Leslie Richifee said he is also a supporter of wildlife conservation, but eats ostrich eggs and tastes ostrich meat in an ostrich park in Africa.

It would not be a sin. So Xiao Zhou took Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo to the supermarket in the town to see if there were any ostrich eggs and ostrich meat. However, after visiting three large supermarkets, there was no trace of eggs. Fortunately, I bought ostrich meat in the second supermarket, and it was at a discount.

The car drove back onto the scenic mountain road. Yesterday was cloudy and foggy, and today it was sunny. The feeling was completely different. The road designers already knew that this place would attract many people, so there were many observation decks along the way for passers-by to take photos and rest. Xiao Zhou parked the car in a wide valley.

Looking at the blue sky and green mountains in front of me, breathing in fresh air, loosening my muscles and bones, and taking a few photos, I felt more satisfied.

oudthorn is a tangled place. If you just want to see ostrichs, it would be better not to come. There are ostrich parks in Cape Town, but it is definitely worth walking on two mountain roads.

The price you pay is not only to walk 120 kilometers more, but also to give up the praise of this section of the garden avenue. Whether it is worth it depends on your opinion.

It was 14 o'clock when we arrived at Knysna. When checking in at thereex, the front desk confused Yunluo's room with Annie and others, which delayed a little time, but as soon as we walked into the room, we felt better again. There were 2 bedrooms and 1 lobby and 2 bathrooms, which were extremely spacious, as a hotel-style apartment.

In addition to the lack of a washing machine, it is simply impeccable in other aspects, and it is also very close to waterfront. R1850/night, free wifi and breakfast are included, so you can stay in this room type for 4 people. Overall, therex is the most recommended hotel on this trip, and it is still worth living up to it by the name of geerex.

It is said that Geerex was the illegitimate son of King George III of England. He came here in 1796 and purchased a small village called Melville in 1804.

It was renamed newhaven in 1846, and it was not until 1882, together with some surrounding villages, formed "knysnatown". Geerex's family and entourage stayed here together, and he became the founder of this famous resort.

After the luggage was delivered to the room, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo took out the food they bought in the oudthorn supermarket in the morning and each took the necessary items. The watermelon in South Africa is very large, sweet but not greasy, and has enough moisture. After eating too much watermelon, you will know that the "big" is a real real thing, and the price is calculated as "only".

If you don’t weigh it, you can start selling half of it. Xiao Zhou ate half of it. Even if you deal with lunch, Yun Luo only ate 1/4 and was overwhelmed. At Nalan Shiqi’s strong request, he ate another poached egg, and lunch was completely solved.

Walk out of the hotel and turn right and pass by a street intersection, Warterfront, which is very close. I originally wanted to experience a steam train between Gee and Knysna, but the railway line was suspended due to lack of maintenance costs. A locomotive was quietly parked on the tracks outside the waterfront gate.

Silently raising repair funds. Walking through the railway, I bought tickets for the lagoon cruise ship on the right side of the waterfront entrance. There are 5 types of knysna lake tour activities run by "featherbed". The most economical and ordinary one is Ferryt, and I sailed along Knysnalake to the estuary of the Indian Ocean and returned.

The whole journey is 75 minutes, r95 per person. At this time, the earliest train was at 17:15 and there was more than an hour left, just for casual wandering. Enter from the entrance.

There are small shops selling tourist souvenirs on both sides, and they are interested in one of the shops selling porcelain and crafts, especially the colorful washbasins hanging on the walls. If you want to have an extraordinary bathroom, this is definitely a powerful tool.

Compared with the waterfront in Cape Town, there is less prosperity and more comfort. The shops do not have much highlights, but many restaurants and cafes are worth a ride, not for the food, but just for the blue color in front of you. The blue sky and the blue lake, when you take a cruise to the estuary, the blue is even stronger.

The sun is gradually moving westward, and the lake is sparkling. Along the way, there are sailboats slowly floating and speedboats flying by. You can't help but envy the free and easy lifestyle of Westerners. (To be continued...)
