Off to the beautiful botanical gardens of Kirstenbosch which we love. Acres of plants set on a hillside just in the suburbs of Cape Town. Another beautiful day and very little wind today.
We were amazed how may of the proteas were still in magnificent bloom –
.
Quite unusual for this time of year-
.
We decided to explore off the main track and climbed The Stairway to Heaven –
.
It just went on and on and led to the aptly named –
.
On a more gentle note we ambled along onto the bridge passing over a very clear freshwater pond –
.
To admire these little chaps –
.
And their friend –
.
Spotted a very beautiful Spurfowl enjoying the day –
.
Now this looks like a sculpture in steel but it is in fact a dried flower head –
.
Then down the shaded Camphor tree lined walk –
.
To the restaurant for lunch where we were entertained by a local band –
.
Beautiful butterflies –
.
Then saw this rainbow on the way home –
.
Ok. See you tomorrow.
