Highlight of Day Three: the Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden.
Sprawling and set against Cape Town’s famous Table Mountain, these gardens were the perfect way to spend our dewy morning. I was stunned and completely refreshed by how quiet the gardens were (quiet is an adjective easily forgotten with all the engine noise and close proximity to five hundred other human beings).
We could have hiked these gorgeous grounds for hours and still had more to see, but after our fair share of peace and greenery, we had a lunch of ostrich burgers (almost as good as an ostrich steak).
Yes, real ostrich.
I feel so completely bizarre confessing to you that I am loving this meat!
It has a completely unique flavor and a very different texture than beef (and supposedly it’s much healthier, but I don’t have any facts to substantiate that one). It is light and tender and something I would highly recommend to any and all who get the chance to sample it.
The rest of the afternoon was spent exploring around the heart of Cape Town, and shopping at Green Market Square, finishing off our day with dessert and Mrs. Doubtfire (gets me laughing out loud every time).
Cheers to a very fine Monday!
Love. Anna
