New Year's Day: Cradle of Human Kind

We went to Sterkfontein Cave and Cradle Of Human Kind. In the cave there was an underground lake with tiny shrimp. The shrimp were all white because it's really dark. There were holes in the ground above the cave where people could fall through. That's what happened to "Little Foot" and probably "Mrs. Ples". 

"Little Foot"

"Little Foot" was a tree climber and australopithecus and is the most complete skeleton of that species ever found. The fossil is about 3.67 million years old.

"Mrs. Ples" is the most complete skull found of the australopithecus africanus. 

At the end of the cave there was a statue you could rub its nose for good luck or rub its right hand for wisdom, but if you rubbed both you got bad luck. I rubbed its hand, Hugo rubbed both.

In the Cradle of Human Kind there was a cool trip were you went on a boat and it took you through primal earth and the Ice Age, there was even real ice.
