Kirstenbosch National Gardens

After our intense Friday afternoon hike, we decided to take Saturday easy. With that thought in mind, we woke up late, had a nice brunch at Obz Café watching the Springboks pull off a tight victory over the New Zealand All Blacks, and headed to the Kirstenbosch National Gardens to enjoy an afternoon in the sun. Kirstenbosch has existed as long as Cape Town has and originally served as a protective barrier for the colony. Later, under apartheid, the land blocked the view of the townships from the city. It now is a beautiful garden designed exclusively with fauna from South Africa. The garden was a beautiful setting for a beautiful day.

Always,

Sarah
