We have had four days in Cape Town. There is a lot to see but you need to pick the right day to go up Table Mountain. We put it off due to cloud and the wind.
We had an early morning visit to Kirstenbosch, The National Botanical Gardens. We were familiar with many of the plants some of which grow in our garden and others that are considered a noxious weed in Australia. Some beautiful flowers in early spring.
Soft as a feather.
So many species of Proteas.
We visited an interesting street in the Muslem sector with colourful houses and a great little spice market.
We spent time wandering the waterfront area ..The Victoria and Alfred Waterfront and even did a little shopping.
Later in the afternoon we walked the city looking at the colonial history and major landmarks.
Smuts.
Colonial architecture and gardens.
The St George Cathedral where Desmond Tutu was Archbishop from 1986 to 1996.
We enjoyed the markets and streetscape of St Georges Mall and Green Market.
Back in the hotel we enjoyed some South African sparkling wine thanks to the hotel.
