Botanical Gardens and Camps Bay

This was Mrs G's day! Botanical Gardens in Cape Town is a world heritage site. Unsurprisingly they are fantastic. Desert conditions however mean that they are not at their best, still fantastic though. Great canopy walk on a bridge just as wobbly as the London one!
After that off to the Table Mountain cable car. Long queues so abandoned that idea as prawns and calamari were calling from Camps Bay. Many beers at 1/2 local prices with the usual seafood ( Jane's Kingklip was delicious ) and not too pricey - lunch about £40-. Off to the beach for Mrs G to tan the pins and a dip. I went into shark infested water but could not tempt her in. The shark was very relieved! Big surf running although out at sea pot calm- long South Atlantic swell. Anyway Jane toasted herself for a few hours so tranquility reigns at last. Still managing 1/2 a bucket to shower. Only reason I went for a dip!Read more
