Day 4. Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens
Claire and I slept through the night. After breakfast, we took a Uber ride and went to Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens today. One tip: there was no free map of the gardens. I asked around and got the map which cost 10 rand at the ticket office.
The garden is huge so we visited only a small part of it. The landscape was very beautiful even though it was winter. There were places where it was very fragrant with some nice herbal smell in the air.
New things I learned
The water was tea colored because it was stained by tree tannin. The water is PH 4! There was a place called Colonel Bird's Bath, which was a pool built by Colonel Bird in 1811 to collect spring water for his house. I had mistakenly thought that it was bird bath.
Plants that dinosaurs saw
Lunch
Claire had a chicken wrap and strawberry milkshake at the Moyo restaurant. I got cappuccino. Everything was great.
Dinner
Claire got mojito mocktail, spinach ravioli, crepes. I got hazelnut espresso cocktail, Kudu loin. All great!
