I was having fun taking photos of the curious ostriches as they approached our vehicle. They looked so cute!
This silly ostrich kept pecking at the fence. If I remember correctly, the tour guide said these birds have a very small brain and forget why they are even pecking.
Another tour guide met us to let all of the tourists have a chance to feed the ostriches. Below she demonstrates how to feed the ostriches.
They have some pot-bellied pigs that come and clean up the feed that drops on the ground during the ostrich feedings.
We then got back on the tour bus to go to the Aloe Vera Plantation.
We watched a live demonstration on how they harvest aloe vera.
Everyone had a chance to eat a piece of aloe vera. I was brave and tasted it since its supposed to be very healthy for you. It was acidic with a bit of sweetness.
I thought it was clever that they used goats to keep the weeds out of the aloe vera plants.
On the way back to the cruise ship, we were told an interesting story why Curacao has so many colorful buildings. To read the history of how King Willem's headaches caused the buildings to be colorfully painted, click here.
