| A clearing afternoon, a dash for the cable car, then a dizzying swoop up to the top of Table Mountain to walk the winding paths amongst the fynbos and court vertigo with the extraordinary views. Another day a lengthy wander in Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, which stretch up the eastern slopes of Table Mountain and merge into the fynbos. Proteaceae in abundance, as well as Restionaceae, Asteraceae, Ericaceae, the Cape Floral Kingdom in a nutshell. The Dell, filled with cycads and tree ferns in great variety. And don't forget the shopping! |
