Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens to Stellenbosch


Beautiful Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden against the backside of Table Mountain

One of the many varieties and colors of the protea flower

The King Protea is the official flower of South Africa

Middelvlei wine - some of the finest in South Africa

Stellenbusch - yes, they do drive on the "wrong side of the road."  I'm glad
Kent was driving us around.

Dutch South African architecture in Stellenbosch.
Believe it or not, we have one more full day here in this magical country before heading home.
For those of you who said South Africa was never high on your list of places to visit, I'd encourage
you to revisit that and consider a trip here.  Kent will be hosting at least another tour next year and it
could become such a popular tour you have to reserve your spot early.
Both our drivers referred to South Africa as the world within a country.  People are friendly, the scenary is spectacular and diverse, and then you have the Big Five.
