Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens

Orange (and blue) for the Bird of Paradise plant at the KBG.  It was a beautiful place with so many things to feast your eyes on.  There are many wonderful sculptures as well as plants and trees.  We had lunch at the KBT Tea Room...fancy.  With all the English influence here, tea is a big deal.  If we come again N will definitely be having high tea at the Mount Nelson Hotel :)  It's on the 'must do' list for many.  Evidently this hotel is on the list of places to see and be seen.  The bus tour info said once a patron reported seeing a 'vagrant' on the lawn.  Turned out to be John Lennon meditating :)
After we visited the gardens we returned to the Blue Bus and took the tour once again to return to Sea Point. 
We also did some shopping at the Green Market Square again this morning.  It is fun to bargain and I did get some fantastic deals today :)
Tonight is the South African dinner buffet.  We love this food!  It's a good thing we walked miles and miles today.  Perhaps our pants will still fit when we return home.
