Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens - World Heritage Site

Today we drove to the other side of Table Mountain to visit the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens, a World Heritage Site. We walked around for hours and didn't see all it had to offer. They have concerts in the summer and, as we found out during breakfast, winter. We'll head back soon for a show. There were sections of plants based on different criteria. One area was for medicinal plants. They had plants that were (and still are) used to cure everything from hangovers to cramps. Headaches to intestinal worms. There was also a section of plants used for love potions. Meandering through the gardens, we ended up on a trail which was headed up Table Mountain. One could hike for miles and hours outside the boundaries of the park. We'll head back when the weather breaks. Speaking of which, when I arrived in Cape Town the weather was spectacular. Several days ago a front moved in and it's rained off and on. Combined with clouds and wind things have taken a turn towards winter but I don't expect big changes. I don't think it even freezes here and there don't appear to be big storms at any time. I do hope to see the sun appear soon though! Pics on the way.
