Parish trip

---

The fathers decided to take us all on a trip as a group before I finished my placement at the school. We were told we'd leave straight after lunch and that time was on our side because it wasn't far. Gone 3.30pm we set off on a 2hr drive! The owners idea of an ostrich farm is with 2 ostriches, some geese and a few horses! The owner gave us a tour showing off the whole site which is what always happens - ie showing us what he is building and how he intends to expand the business, the guest house 'where people can stay', the bar 'where you can have a drink' and I wouldn't have put it past him to give us a tour of the loos too! The tour also included a 5min stop at the ostriches and other animals and then he had the cheek to charge us full price for entry - for nothing in my eyes. And what is also customary the mzungu get charged 3x more than locals making the whole tour cost over 5quid!!!! I know some of you will say that they charge that because they can well I get fed up of being treated as a money machine. Had we received a 'service' ie seen something, then I would not have felt so bitter about paying but he just took the piss and gives other people a bad name.

I think the midget swings would have made the whole thing worth it...not that I would have been able to fit from the looks of it in your photo! Hmmm, an ostrich farm and only two ostriches? Sounds like a bit of a stretch!
