Ostrich Riding

Taking a slight detour on our way to Cape Town we went Ostrich Riding in Oudtshoorn, it was a blast. From learning what they eat to feeding them, sitting on and riding these interesting creatures made it a one of a kind experience in SA. In addition to standing on ostrich eggs' which can hold up to 200kg, quite fascinating.

Hike in Plettenburg Bay- Robberg Reserve

While in Plettenburg Bay we explored the area with one of the most beautiful hikes in the world. The hike in Robberg Reserve was arduous and at the same time all out beautiful in natural beauty. This is only a taste of some of the spectacular scenery we saw.

The World's largest Bungee Jump- 216m

It was an unbelievable experience. Those that were rewarded for their efforts during the course of the summer so far were rewarded with a number of things. One of them was Bungee Jumping. Not only any ordinary bungee jumping but it was the largest bungee jumping in the entire world. As I'm sure you can tell from the pictures we had an awesome time!

The Ridge

An amazing view. Very select bochurim were able to go on this trip. Only 10 minutes from Yeshiva grounds is The Ridge. It offers a spectacular view of Joburg. Stay tuned for our next update on the blog Lion Park...

Bowling-Police

Well having to keep up with the present. I didn't have ready access to internet to put up the photos as quick as I wanted, but now that I have internet more readily available I hope to put up a lot more pictures on the blog. Also since unlimited internet is just being introduced to SA its hard if you're using some elses internet and use up all of there GB for internet and they don't have any left...
In any case on Monday, July 2 we went to Xtreme Bowling. The environment was great especially since we had it all to ourselves. Starting from disco bowling, to pool, to rocking the bowling place with Jewish Music it was a one of a kind experience.
After taking one of the black taxi's we got back to Yeshiva and were welcomed to the smell of a brey (bbq in American). After downing hamburgers, hotdogs, sausages and more we were in for an even bigger surprise as three uniformed officers of SA police Dpt. gave us a run down of what cops carry on them at all times and interesting stories of their past. That sums it up for July 2 or 22 Menachem-Av.

Trip to "Big Swing" and Kruger

On Thursday we arrived at the "Big Swing," testing our fear of heights as we stepped off a ledge and plummeted downward until we swung to safety.
Later heading to Forever Resort at Blyde Canyon spending Friday and Shabbos at the resort. While there we visited 3 Rondavels and went on hikes in the area. It was very beautiful.
Early Sunday, around 3:00am we head out to Kruger Park to be in time for Sunrise at the animal park; one of the best times to see animals. We saw Hyenas, Wild Dogs, Elephants, Buffalo, Lions, Rhinoceras, Giraffes, Impalas, Vulters, a Kill, all up close and personal. It was an amazing experience.
