Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, Cape Town

Our second visit to Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens with lots more time today and far better weather. It really was the best botanical gardens we have ever visited and we would highly recommend you go. The plants, birds, trees, scenery, oh my goodness, it's fantastic ! We walked up to the protea section and simply sat on a bench for hours, watching the sugarbirds and just taking it all in.
