Today we visited Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, and in 2004 the Cape Floristic Region, including Kirstenbosch, was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, making Kirstenbosch the first botanic garden in the world to be included within a natural World Heritage Site. Its 36 hectares are part of a 528 hectare estate containing natural forest and fynbos with associated animals and birds.
We enjoyed fabulous lattes in the café where the coffee came separately and we poured it in ourselves. What a lovely touch! The gardens filled the whole day and were magnificent.
Tonight we walked around the back of our hotel and ate outside at Hildebrand, another recommended restaurant that lived up to its reputation.
