We went to explore the other cave in the cradle of humankind that is open to the public, the wondercaves... it was first discovered by italians about 119 years ago in search of diamonds or gold, instead they found limestone and then mined that. We had to descend a steep 45 degree staircase and a total of 84 steps then take a lift down a shaft. Poor nate seemed scared of the caves this time and wanted to get out!
The park was nice, its like a mini safari for those who may not get the chance to go on a real one and we get to stay in the comforts of our own car as opposed to the safari truck and the elements. The park has ostriches, warthogs (that came quite close to where we were before going down tot he caves), zebra's, kudu's, springbok, lions and a whole host of other animals that we did not spot.
Their restaurant wasn't great though. We will pack ourselves a picnic next time. We did have enough food too, Charmaine brought banana's, home baked raisin shortcake, veggie mite biscuits and we had some oranges and cookies. The kids area though had 3 jumping castles (covered), large climbing area, a sand pit, a little zip line, wooden airplanes and trampolines built into the ground.
We also found a directory of stuff to do in our 30min radius and boy are there alot of things to do! I think i want to go to the Walter Sisulu botanical gardens next. For those who have not seen an ethnic roof, this is a Lhapa roof.
