The Bird Lady...

Hey guys! So today we went to a place called Birds of Prey and then we did a quick tour of PMB (Pietermaritzburg). Birds of Prey was really cool; it had birds like hawks, owls, vultures, eagles, storks, etc. They even did like a bird show which was really cool! :) So it's kinda hard to post pictures on here, so you'll have to go to my facebook and see all the pics that I have been taking in SA. We also went to this Lion Park but we had to drive down to the area to see the lions in groups and the workers who were down there told the first group that they could get close to the fence, but when the lady who we paid came down she got really mad...and kicked us out! So I didn't get to go to the fence, I just got to see like a couple lions from far away. Boo! :) But I guess we'll see a bunch on our safari! The others were telling me thought that were like 2 feet away from the lions....just separated by a fence...and that they were even roaring!

After we drove around PMB and stopped at a train station. I soon found out that this was the train station that Mahatma Ghandi was kicked off the train because he was not white. This is where is his campaign against racial oppression. That was prettty cool to know that I was in the same place as he was once before! After, we went to a look-out point in the mountains where you we were able to see all of PMB! It was gorgeous! I'm having a great time so far, but I do really miss home. Until next time....
