Anybody who knows me know that I do not have a green thumb, but that doesn’t mean that I can’t appreciate the beauty of a well maintained garden! What beautiful sights to behold at Kirstenbosch. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate and we were cut even more in our time to appreciate all they had to offer. I just spent a few minutes trying to take it in when it started to rain. The guide indicated that you really need to dedicate a full day to see them all!
These gardens are located in the same area where the embassy homes are located. It was an exquisite (Can you tell that I am running out of adjective) neighborhood.
By this time, it is after 5:00 and we head back to the hotel. We passed by the monument to Rhodes, of Rhodes scholar fame. He is the one who created the De Beers diamond monopoly that keeps diamond prices high. He owned an amazing amount of land in South Africa. Having never married and having no (known) children, he left everything to the state.
Hmmmm . . . what to have for dinner? How ‘bout Ethiopian, whatever that is!
