We spent most of our morning at the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, roundly considered one of the seven best gardens in the world. We certainly see why it would rank so highly and would love to share more pictures of this beautiful place when we are back home after the holidays.

Seeing more of Cape Town

We’ve spent the whole day exploring Cape Town’s scenic attractions – from Chapman’s Peak Drive to a seal tour out of Hout Bay, to a picnic in Tokai and a ride up-and-down Cape Point with the Flying Dutchman funicular (and many points in between). Lots to tell you about when we’re back home!

We’ve arrived in Cape Town where we’ll be visiting the Table Mountain National Park and surrounds for the next couple of days. Here just a quick look at two of the city’s most iconic landmarks; Table Mountain and Robben Island. and one less well known, the memorial to Cecil John Rhodes.
