Tuesday, August 9 (Honeydew Mazes, Johannesburg)





Today, again had no plans to start with.  It's a national holiday (Women's Day), so lots of places are closed.  Dad didn't go into work, banks were closed, realtors took the day off.  At first, we thought maybe we would find a nice park and take a walk, smell the flowers, listen to the birds.  However, after looking online, Mom decided this other place, Honeydew Mazes, would be much more exciting.  I can't help but agree with her.  Every year they create two giant mazes, an Amazing Maize Maze and a maze created out of bamboo fencing.  This time of year, they have the fencing maze, and it took up a good hour and fifteen minutes to find our way through.  It's not just a maze though, you also have to find the different gardens, find animals in those gardens, identify smells, sounds, and people, and solve puzzles along the way.  After finishing the maze, you get a popsicle, and there are numerous other brain teasers and games in the surrounding field.  All in all, a great way to spend the day.
