CAPE TOWN ... Day 1.

 

Wednesday 9th March 2016: We booked into Diamond House in Camps Bay around 3.








This is my room which was light and airy ...

 with a spectacular view of Lion's Head ...

Once we were settled we set off for Kirstenbosch Gardens and got caught in peak hour traffic ~ at 15h30!

We only explored part of the gardens as they are very large and you would need to spend a whole day there to explore the whole gardens ... but what we saw was spectacular!!!

We walked the gorgeous Tree Canopy Walkway ...

I just loved this tree lined avenue ... spectacular!

These bonsai trees on display were between 90 and 150 years old ...

We had a leisurely coffee at Vida e-Cafe and then took the scenic route back to Camps Bay and viewed a spectacular sunset ...

We stopped off in Camps Bay and got ourselves fish & chips at Ocean Basket and had a bit of an unpleasant experience with a car guard ... When we got back to our car it was not the guy who was there when we arrived so we refused to give him a tip and as we drove off he shouted after us "Next time you come here I am going to kill you" ... what a lovely experience for tourists!!!

We relaxed in Ali's room over dinner and a bottle of wine ... yes we finished the whole bottle and yes that is Ali and I drinking our second glass!!!
