Jersey Winery/Goats Do Roam/Horse Stud

I felt this was one of the most boring legs of our trip. We hit up alot of wineries the only cool ones being one that was on a Jersey cow farm and the Goat Do Roam winery.

First we went to the Jersey cow farm. I have no idea how or why someone thought up combining a farm with a winery but I guess it works. We got to see the milking parlor and talk to the herd manager then we got to do some wine tasting.

My favorite winery was the Goats Do Roam winery. There is wine at World Market by them :) It's neat because they have a little fenced in tower that goats inhabit plus right across the street there is an actual goat farm. They also sell shirts and do a cheese tasting :)

The horse stud place (Arc En Ciel was the name) was fairly boring for me. The horses were pretty and all but I'm just not very interesting in a stud farm. And the tour took forever :-\ But there were some cute dachshunds on the property!

Southern Most Tip/Water Cave/Shark Diving

Here comes the best post yet :)

We'll start with the southern most tip of South Africa... the place that separates the Indian Ocean from the Atlantic Ocean with an imaginary line :) There was a really nice lighthouse there too.

Then we went to a water cave... which just means the mouth of the cave opens up to the water. It was pretty neat but very treacherous getting there. One girl slipped, cut up her hand, and skinned her knee :(

Finally the best part... shark diving :-D It was the coolest thing we did. The sharks were around 2.5-3 meters long and at one point one bit the cage! :-D Another time (while I was in the cage) they guy holding the bait didn't see the shark coming and he ended up making off with the bait :) There are laws against just feeding the sharks so we had a piece of fish hooked to a line and when a shark came the guy would pull it back so he couldn't get it... essentially we were teasing the sharks :-O Before they pulled back they would yell "down, down, down!!" so we could go underwater and look at the sharks. We were in wet suits with weight belts and a mask. It was my favorite part of the whole trip (the sharks not the wetsuit) :-D

Cango Cave and WIldlife/Ostrich Farm/Waterfall/Oudtshorn

Here are the Cango cave and the Cango Wildlife Park. The caves we ok... our tour guide was extremely dramatic with his narration and the tour felt like it took forever. The Wildlife Park was pretty neat. We were told it seems to have gotten a little corny over the years but I still enjoyed it. And we even got to hear the lions roar!! :-D Next is the ostrich farm. Our guide here was great :) We were a little sceptical at first cause he was really out there but eventually we warmed up to him and he was actually pretty funny :) We had the option to sit on an ostrich (no, I didn't :)) and 3 people got to ride (I got video). We also got general info on the ostrich farm and then ostriches themselves. We also took a small side trip to a waterfall. It was a little rocky getting back to it but it was worth it once there :) Very beautiful. It was an unscheduled trip and it put us behind but in the end everything worked out and it was nice to get some waterfall pictures :) And finally here are some random pictures of Oudtshorn and a flea market where we stopped. I didn't buy anything on that stop but since I didn't get any pictures of the one in Swaziland I thought it would be good to get pictures of this one :)
