10/07 Farmfari continued!

That morning we cooked breakfast.. We had bacon, eggs and toast. After breakfast and cleaning up we headed to the pigs to get a quick briefing of how to feed the pigs and clean out the pens. All I could think is this should be interesting! Loryn and I got the pleasure of cleaning out the pig pens and the 2 of us tackled it like pros! Haha.

The pig pens draining system was broken so the clean up was more work than it was supposed to be but to be honest it really isn’t that gross cleaning out pig pens. There were 5 different pens to clean out and the only one I was scared of was the new mother because she had a little attitude problem and would start freaking out whenever someone got close. After cleaning out the pens you take all the manure and spread it on the trees that are planted. It’s funny because the whole time you are doing this the chickens are following you around thinking that it’s food. Some other things we did around the farm that day was plant trees, Evan has a lot of pomegranate trees on his farm. And we searched for more eggs around the farm.

That evening we decided to head out for dinner. We first stopped at Ronnies Sex Shop for a drink and to hang out with the bartender for a few. It’s a really cool place to hang out! After hanging out there and taking pictures of the tractor and sunset we decided to head into Barrydale for what Evan told us was the BEST STAKE EVER. Barrydale is a really small town so when we walked into the restaurant almost everyone there was someone we saw around the town on the first day. We had so much fun that night!! The stake was good and it was really fun hanging out with the locals! We met Jason, Matthew and Andrew. Jason was our waiter and he was so nice.. and Matthew had the same birthday as me!! And Andrew was into climbing. .. they all remind me of some of my friends back home :P If you’re reading this guys I had so much fun meeting you and wish we could of hung out longer!

Ok I’m gonna cut the blog short of SA.. I’m actually arriving to India in 2 days :D So I need to write a blurb on Mauritius before then! To sum up the rest of the time in SA .. the next morning we headed back to Cape Town and spent the last few hours out wandering the waterfront.
